Opera Alaska: A Captivating Celebration of Opera

Saturday, August 9 at 7pm
Thunder Mountain Middle School Auditorium
Tickets: Pay-as-you-want

Experience the beauty and power of opera in this unforgettable evening of music and movement. Opera Alaska features the world premiere of Little Things, a captivating new short opera by Spencer Edgar and Elizabeth Howell, performed with The Icefield Quartet and featuring Wendy Byrnes. Little Things asks the question: What’s worse than being a recently laid-off music teacher? Well, for Ophelia, it’s running into someone from high school at a coffee shop and hearing the dreaded question: “So, what do you do?” Join Ophelia as she spirals into an existential crisis, trying to figure out the answer– not just for them, but for herself.

The evening also includes a dance presentation by Juneau Dance Theatre and stirring arias and scenes from the contemporary opera repertoire.

Don’t miss this celebration of artistry and innovation!
