Free Performance of Naomi's Road
Vancouver Opera Touring Ensemble


Mon Oct 24th, 2005
3:30 pm
Vancouver Public Library
Central Branch, Alice Mackay Room

Admission is free and all are welcome.

This performance has come about as a result of the ongoing teacher's strike so the library apologizes for the short notice. They ask people to please pass this information on to anyone whom you think may be interested in attended, including day camp groups.

I talked with soprano Jessica Cheung, who plays Naomi,  tonight at the Vancouver Opera  reception/cast party following the openining night of Turandot.  Jessica says that the children in the schools are really recieving the opera well.

In particular, the children really respond to "the bully" scene, and when Naomi is trying to decide whether or not to give Mitzi her doll back.  Jessica reports that she is really enjoying the performances and is looking forward to taking the production to Vancouver Island next week.
