Opera Previews & Discussions

Opera Previews—A Closer Look at the Singer’s Art

Hear directors and conductors talk about the operas and enjoy musical excerpts sung by the casts in our Opera Preview series, underwritten by the West Bay Opera Guild. These previews give everyone an opportunity to know—and enjoy—more of the opera in production. Each of the free previews is held on a Thursday evening at 8:00 PM at the Palo Alto Art Center, 1313 Newell Road, Palo Alto.

Opera Discussions—Get to Know the Art and the Artists

After the first Sunday afternoon matinée of each opera, we invite audience members to stay in the Theatre for an informal discussion with the singers and the directors. It’s a great way to find out how West Bay Opera artists approach their craft, the score, the libretto, and you, their audience.
