A mid-summer evening of music captivated an estimated 700 concert-goers last night during the third-annual Opera Under the Stars at UBC Okanagan.

Set in UBC Okanagan’s central courtyard, the free open-air public concert featured world-class performances from Opera Kelowna in an informal and picturesque setting.

The event opened Opera Kelowna’s 2017 Summer Concert Series, which continues with three additional Opera in the Park concerts:

  • Aug. 3 at Kelowna’s Guisachan Park
  • Aug. 4 at West Kelowna’s Memorial Park Amphitheatre
  • Aug. 6 at Peachland’s Heritage Park

These concerts give audiences a taste of Opera Kelowna’s mainstage performance of La bohème at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Aug. 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m.

To pre-register and learn more about Opera Kelowna’s free Summer Concert Series and to get ticket information for the Aug. 18 and 19 mainstage performance, visit www.operakelowna.com.
