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.
