Opera at Warp Speed
April 2, 2016
7:30 p.m.
Grand Theatre, Kingston, ON

They don’t call it ‘space opera’ for nothing! Whether you are new to opera or a long-time listener, this concert will take you through the best opera has to offer, with a sci-fi twist! Let the hysterically funny Toronto-based opera company Opera 5 guide you through a ‘newly-found’ opera written by Wagner, which employs every cliché imaginable in both the operatic and the science fiction genres. Will Captain James High C and his first mate Horn Solo rescue the princess Quo’olo’ra Tura’h from the evil Carmen? Only one way to find out!

Evan Mitchell, conductor

Aria Umezawa, host

Adrian Kramer, tenor

Rachel Krehm, soprano

Benjamin Covey, baritone

Aidan Ferguson, mezzo-soprano
