Opera Alaska: A Captivating Celebration of Opera

Saturday, August 9 at 7pm & Sunday, August 10 @ 2pm
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 Edgers 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!

The Alaska Theater Festival is supported in part by the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council and the City and Borough of Juneau.
