OPERA
An Afternoon at the Opera
Sunday, May 19 at 3:00 pm
Presented by BARN OPERA
Tickets: $35 for Adults, $10 for Students 21 and Under
You’ve been asking and we’ve been listening. After a five-year hiatus, opera is returning to Hubbard Hall. On May 19 at 3:00 p.m., singers from the Brandon, VT-based BARN OPERA will perform a concert of popular arias duets and ensembles from La Traviata, The Barber of Seville, Die Fledermaus, Madama Butterfly, Carmen, and more.
The afternoon will be special for opera aficionados and newcomers alike. BARN OPERA was founded in 2017 with the sole aim to make opera accessible and inviting to audiences across Vermont and the border counties of neighboring states. Founder and artistic director Joshua Collier has put together a program of operatic favorites for us at Hubbard Hall that will be sung by Soprano Emily Baker, Mezzo Soprano Rachel Deatherage, Tenor Chad Kranak and Baritone Wayne Hu. They will be accompanied on the piano by Eric Malson.
Join us to celebrate the return of opera to Hubbard Hall and purchase your tickets today. This is going to be an afternoon to sing about. Learn more about the performers and BARN OPERA.

Check out their live performance of “Out of the Woods” here!
It all started in a small café in Ormstown, Quebec. The band continued to percolate and spread onto the Canadian music scene, allowing them to tour across Canada and on into the United States. Each member writes and arranges, and brings something unique to the table. You’ll hear a variety of genres and a broad range of styles. Be it Blues, Soul, Folk, R&B or Gospel, it all weaves seamlessly together to create a truly authentic contemporary Canadiana sound. Check out more of their music here.
“Lead singer Kevin Harvey and his band are sonic shape shifters of the first order. Whether it’s blues, folk, soul, country, gospel, or New Orleans swing, they purvey it with skill, aplomb and pure honesty.” – Nate Dow, Fallout Shelter, Massachusetts.

Support the Arts!
Supporting the arts provides us so many benefits and rewards. Local arts help drive our economy by giving our close neighbors and visitors from far away the opportunity to explore our community and visit our local businesses. The arts make our lives joyous and support our wellbeing. Places like Hubbard Hall, where all ages, walks of life, and artistic tastes can gather to see theater, to see music, to see our children triumph, are precious. Neighbors catching up during an intermission. The parking lot at our Beacon Feed Studio filling up with parents’ cars and children running to the studio doors excited to learn the next piece of chorography. These moments strengthen our community.
We hope you share in the passion and love of the arts and our community as we do. We depend on your support to keep the magic happening. Donate Today!
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Margaret Surowka and the Entire Hubbard Hall Board
