Here's what past participants had to say about Overture:
“It was so much fun that after the 4 sessions were over, we were ‘lost’ on what to do on Monday nights.”
“This was a terrific experience. It was filled with surprises and new notions of opera as a unique art form.”
"I've been a season ticket holder for many years. The operas I saw subsequent to class were MUCH enriched. I can't wait to see Tosca next week even though I have seen it at SF opera before!"
"Knowing the work that goes behind the scenes only increased the magic."
“Would go again in a heartbeat...”
