Kudos to Orcas Center for another amazing afternoon at the Metropolitan Opera this past Sunday! If I had been in New York, I might have seen Faust from the orchestra (for only $222.50), but I would not have been able to see the expressions on the faces of the extraordinary singers, nor would I have heard interviews with the cast, director and conductor during the intermissions. The performance was absolutely thrilling! And there’s more coming our way, not only the Metropolitan Opera, but the National Theater Live as well, offering the finest British theatre. How fortunate we are to have such a rich cultural offering in our community.
Thank you Orcas Center. Thank you Artha Kass, Kara O’Toole and Deborah Sparks—three amazing Orcas impresarios— for your vision and tireless efforts. Thank you generous community donors to the Digital Expansion Campaign for helping the vision become a reality. And thank you to the outstanding Orcas Center staff and volunteers, as always a dedicated, enthusiastic team.
