Three times last year Church of the Nations took a group to enjoy the opera. “Turandot” by Puccini. “Carmen” by Bizet. “Armida” by Rossini. Eight to twelve people came each time and enjoyed the performance very much.
Do not miss the new production of “Das Rheingold” by Wagner by the New York Metropolitan Opera this coming Saturday October 09 starting at 12:00 noon.
Two unparalleled artists join forces to create a groundbreaking new Ring for the Met: Maestro James Levine and director Robert Lepage. The cycle launches with Das Rheingold, the prologue to Wagner’s epic drama. “The Ring is not just a story or a series of operas, it’s a cosmos,” says Lepage, who brings cutting-edge technology and his own visionary imagination to the world’s greatest theatrical journey. Bryn Terfel sings the leading role of Wotan for the first time with the company, heading an extraordinary cast.
This will be a live broadcast from New York City. We will go to the Citiplace movie theater on Corporate Boulevard at 11:30 a.m. You can meet us there or ride on the church bus which will pick up from:
