Victoria Opera House Leads the way

What is Victoria Opera House response to COVID-19?

We had an extremely powerful and motiving women's day event on March 8th with only female performers. We opened the evening with modern dance followed by four uniquely different singers. Each voice differed in range. Our night was accompanied by a pianist. Each song was paired with a wine that was brought by the Sommelier sisters.
Each song, or aria as we call it in opera, started with an english spoken first-person character dialogue. The dialogue set the stage to the arias passionate confession of love or disgust of greed. The distinct fruity or wood taste of the wine matched the emotion of each phrase of the song. When the performance was over we talked about what it was like to be a women in the arts.
Our singers were representative of many different nationalities and our music represented different cultures and languages. In the end though, the group of about 80 females and males were all united. We left feeling stronger than before. We were about to enter a crisis yet we knew already from that one evening in the Vinyl Room of a Private Members Only Club, that we were going to get through this pandemic together. As the doors closed in New York March 17th and we walked into the unknown, I was reassured by that one performance. The only thing that came to my mind was, how do I reach more people?! How do I share this unequivocal gift of unity.
The answer came to me not much later when I realized all my fabulous music friends, singers and dancers were out of a job and the public was without a show. I started asking performers what other talents they had or if they would be interested in teaching and I created virtual shows. Virtual wine and music packages, meditation and music, musicology classes, showcase etc.
The thought of stopping and not offering art never occurred to me. As a woman and entrepreneur this is what I do. I picture myself in a box and then I try to work my way out of it. For a long time my box was just a brown Amazon box but I end up also making that into a nicer softer green and figured I rather work my way out of a Tiffany box instead. I'm laughing, but seriously, this way of looking at the issue at hand and working my way through it has allowed me to push through one step at a time. I know it is just the beginning.
I also used this time to work creatively on my projects as an opera singer, and composer. The more I dig deeper into art the more I am able to offer meaningful and inspiring performances. As an Artistic Director, I not only have to understand what the musicians/singers need to create the best performance but also what the audience needs to have the best experience.
We are able to offer the best shows because we take into consideration not only the performance but your needs, your guests and the venue space. I don't really see too many other companies doing that for events and personal performances. You really have to listen and understand the whole picture to be able to create a beautiful untouchable moment.
Moments are really all we have in life and our memories are what keeps us youthful. Performance is there to accompany your moment and fill in the pieces where words can not. It's pure expression.
Victoria Opera House dedication to equality and promoting diversity through the arts.
Art is diverse, period. It accepts the diversity and embraces it and embellishes it with music, voice, dance, paintings, writing, poetry, fashion, makeup, headstands, meditation, etc. All we ask as artists and as non artists is for the world to open its arms and hearts and hear the different voices that we showcase in beautiful different ways. When we, as a community, can fully embrace diversity, we will be able to create the most joyous, beautiful performance of all. I'm not burdened by the past ignorance and I, myself, am aware of the hardships of the future, but I will continue to walk towards the light of unity and continue to bring forth performances with this as my goal.

Let’s face it, you’ve done everything! You’ve been to concerts, nightclubs, bars, and every hip restaurant in town. You know all of the music festivals and visited every Insta-worthy event. But I bet you’ve never had a wine tasting party like the ones we offer. Okay, what’s so special about it, you may be wondering? We provide a show for the senses. Depending on the location and culture of the wine we make sure each song matches in language, costume and theme. For example, Spanish wine is paired with a Spanish themed show, French wine with, you guessed it, a French themed show. With classical music molded into a modern experience, and a whole lot of wine, we guarantee your guests will be talking about your event for weeks. Trust me, the pairing of the wine is almost as much fun as drinking it. Let’s take a look at five reasons you need to have our wine tasting party as your next event or dinner party. Don't forget to inquire about our in-house sommelier and catering company. 1. Why not pair Opera with your wine?

In a society focused on the latest technology, dance crazes, and what is trending on social media, it is easy to understand why so many believe the art of classical music is, in many ways, irrelevant. However, with more music being produced in today’s era than ever before, and with many artists drawing inspiration from classical pieces, this old art form is far from dead. Over the centuries, classical music has transformed itself to become a building block, setting the framework for musicians of all types today. Many studies have even shown that learning or listening to classical music can have a wide variety of benefits.

If you have children in your life, then you have surely heard the cries of “I am bored!” echoing throughout your halls at one point or another. We are quite sure this has been truer than ever over the last year. We know that it is important to provide your kiddos with entertainment experiences that will nurture their growth and development. With these goals in mind, our amazing staff of arts educators and enthusiasts have developed multiple stages to keep kids of all ages healthy and entertained through enriching experiences in music and dance. Let’s take a look. Music education has been proven through multiple studies to help children develop critical thinking skills, the ability to work as a team, and to increase their performance in school and on exams. What parent or caregiver wouldn’t want these types of advantages for the children in their care? The music education programs we offer even include a snack time component at the end of each class where those attending are provided with a healthy snack and nutrition discussion. Why do we spend this nutrition time with our kids when it would be easier to send them out the door with a bag of chips? It is simple. We know that a growing mind cannot develop properly without the healthiest body possible, and the nutrition habits that youth develop during their childhood will carry with them throughout their lives. We want to be your partner in full-body wellness for your children. Your children will have a blast with our music educators. Music classes work out the brain and stimulate creativity and higher-order thinking skills. They also help to reduce anxiety and increase feelings of happiness. Our music education classes include vocal and instrumental experiences along with music history classes. These classes can be taken virtually, or we can even come to you. Your child can work on learning to play an instrument or sing out with joy in multiple languages when they engage with one of our professional instrumental or vocal teachers. The great thing about acquiring these musical skills is that they can be enjoyed well past childhood. There are numerous community choirs and instrumental groups where singing and/or playing an instrument can continue to be practiced throughout our lives. If your child enjoys learning about history or cultures from around the globe, we offer amazing and engaging musical history classes. These classes are another fantastic opportunity to learn from our industry professionals while creating lasting friendships with their classmates. If your kiddo is more of a mover and a shaker, we have dance classes for that! Our dance experiences are taught by professional dancers, often from Broadway, and will introduce your child to the various styles of dance that exist from ballet to ballroom. Dance is a super fun way to get your groove on and encourage your child to be physically active and fit. We invite you to check out the great selection of music and dance education opportunities at Victoria Opera House to engage your child and keep them healthy in body and mind. Don't worry, just because this Blog was about your children doesn't mean you can't take a dance class, sing or learn an instrument from a professional musician; we actually encourage it. Not only can you share the moment with your children, but it's a wonderful opportunity to learn a new skill or just enjoying 'you' time. Make the holidays more enjoyable for your loved ones by giving the gift of your music.
