Join New Opera West (NOW) for an intimate evening of short films, live performance, free drinks (including wine & beer), and conversation! Presenting three of NOW’s animated and live-action shorts, plus special conversations with the films’ artists who will speak to their creative process in this relatively unexplored artistic medium— operatic short film. 

From an animated story of a couple looking to adopt the “right” dog, to a music video set in LA’s urban landscape, to the world premiere of our newest animated opera, “The Beginning of Everything: A Love Story” (featuring a live singer), this unique event is not to be missed!

RSVP is required for free entry, given limited theater seating.

Friday June 17 8:30 PM
Sunday June 19 3:30 PM
@ Hudson Guild Theater
