Guild Bus Tours

Each year, the Guild organizes tours to a regional opera house. Fees for Opera Bus Tours include tickets, transportation, lunch and dinner.

On Sunday October 19, 2008, join us for a trip to the Canadian Opera and Toronto’s beautiful new Opera House for a performance of Prokofiev's stunning opera War and Peace.

Sung in Russian with English surtitles this opera stars Russel Braun, Elena Semenova, Mikhail Kit and Judith Forst.
