ABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE
Tonight, Vinkensport, or The Finch Opera makes its HGO Digital premiere. Get ready to laugh uproariously at this chamber opera from composer David T. Little and librettist Royce Vavrek, a hilarious sendup of the little-known Belgian sport of professional finch-calling. The birds’ names alone are worth the price of admission to this fun, occasionally poignant work, directed by HGO Studio alumnus Ryan McKinny and E. Loren Meeker and conducted by Austin Opera’s Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor Timothy Myers.
