West Side Story Theatre Review
When the curtain arose, it was easy to get lost in the pure verve of the cast of West Side Story. The opening dance number was so energetic, it felt like they too were revelling in their ability to share such a communal experience.

The Marriage of Figaro is coming to QPAC this July!
And so begins one of the greatest love stories ever told. This is the opera that changed the direction of the art form.
