Beer + Opera = fun

It's no secret that Opera needs to find new audiences. Although many young people do attend, it still can be intimidating to take the plunge. One way of introducing opera to newbies is by making the experience more intimate and less formal. In London, a small company recently won rave reviews and an Olivier award for its production of Puccini's La Bohème in a pub.
Great music, good beer and a fun/casual environment can make Opera feel more accessible.

On this side of the Atlantic a small innovative company is putting on the same opera in English in a bar in Toronto. Come check it out!
