Join us and special guests mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade and mezzo-soprano Marietta Simpson for a conversation about Opera Philadelphia’s Sky on Swings, available for streaming now as part of the company’s Digital Festival O. The fantastical chamber opera, which premiered at Opera Philadelphia in 2018, finds fleeting beauty in memory loss through an unflinching yet uplifting exploration of living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Evans Mirageas will be joined by special guests mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade and mezzo-soprano Marietta Simpson, who originated the lead roles of Danny and Martha.

This event is free, but registration is required. A Zoom link will be provided after registration.
