OVI And Opera America Join Forces In Vancouver

Grab your passport and bring your best ideas to share with opera support groups, volunteers and opera companies throughout North America.

The conference begins Wednesday, May 8 (OVI’s Board meets that morning) with the Opening Session and Keynote in the afternoon. Vancouver’s home opera company hosts a reception cruise around Vancouver in the evening. OVI’s Awards Dinner will follow the cruise.

Thursday and Friday will be packed with workshops and sessions presented by both Opera America and OVI. There’ll be plenty of opera: Vancouver Opera will present Tan Dun’s Tea: A Mirror of the Soul, and you won’t want to miss OA’s New Works Sampler.

Register for the conference beginning in mid-January through the Opera America website. It has detailed information about early registration discounts for OVI members, conference schedules and other information. Click here to go the Opera America website.
