I risk sounding like a broken record but I really do LOVE my job. I’m thu-rilled that I’m part of such a forward thinking, innovative and creative team at Vancouver Opera. Without a doubt, we are one of the most exciting opera companies to watch. Not only did we get international shout outs and accolades for creating the world’s first opera manga, but now we went and got ourselves noticed at CBC Radio 2 and Opera Chic again.
Traditional and social media have picked up on our first blogger night at the opera tonight. We invited four prominent bloggers on the Vancouver scene to join us for Carmen at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and blog their impressions and experiences before the performance and during intermissions.
Our blogger night created such buzz and interest with our 2500+ attendees tonight that it was a resounding success. But don’t believe me, check out what our guests and their readers’ had to say:
Kimli at Delicious Juice
Tanya at Netchick
Rebecca Bollwitt at Miss 604
Ami at Beyond Robson
All modesty aside, Vancouver Opera is a trailblazer, making headway and headlines, the company is poised to lead the way among arts organizations.
There’s so many more awesome things we’re cooking up for the near future that I want to shout it out from the rooftops; I can barely contain myself.
But contain I must. That is, until we unveil our next surprise.

And why were you not invited to blog?
i’m a staffer and well, completely biased 🙂
we wanted bloggers who may not have been familiar with VO and operas at all to write about what they thought and their experiences at carmen. a fresh eye and voice. candid and uncensored.
i was repping the company and we were the hosts.
it was a highly successful event and garnered positive press and attention.
stay tuned, the next blogger night is verdi’s rigoletto in march.
