TICKETS + INFORMATION

It takes some nerve to set an opera on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Nightingale, since there’s already a really good one. Especially when composer Lisa Despain writes like it was 100 years ago. But I love Western classical music from 100 years ago. Including, in fact, Stravinsky’s original Соловей (better known as Le Rossignol).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Fuck it, it’s so boring in Brookfield place that I’m going to tell you to take the walk over to Artisano for cheffed-up Peruvian.
