MOBY DICK – OPERA PERFORMANCE
October 21, 2012 - 9:00 am
WSNC Opera Marathon Weekend concludes with a Group Ticket offer to a matinee performance Moby Dick.
The San Francisco Opera has graciously made it possible for the Wagner Society Members to obtain tickets to Moby Dick at a substantial discount. The tickets will be sold exclusively through the San Francisco Opera Box Office on-line with a special ticket portal and password. This information will be made available to members very soon.
In his recent visit to the Wagner Society, Speight Jenkins noted that Moby Dick is perhaps the best new operas to come along. Jenkins noted that the music is accessable, ingratiating and the production is powerful and riveting.
The Wagner Society wants to thank the San Francisco Opera for the wonderful opera opportunities it has made available to our members.
