2020 Season
Valentine's Hangover
They say all is fair in love and war, however when it comes to opera that is never the case. Join us on February 16 as we explore a world of scorned lovers, jilted brides and a range of love stories that don't end happily ever after. Through a selection of Opera Arias and Art Song presented by performers of XL Arts' Project: JUMP-START, this will be the perfect antidote to a Valentine's Day hangover.
Think "Love Song Dedications" with a twist.
Accompanied by Larrissa Oberfeld
