The Flame: Raising Our Voices

Inspired by Pacific Opera Victoria's 2024/25 Season theme of “embarking on the quest to be our better selves”, Raising Our Voices brings the exploration of that journey into the heart of our home in the Baumann Centre. In this second edition of Raising Our Voices we continue with an evening where music and narrative intertwine, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Featuring community storytellers and singers alongside singers from our Royal Theatre productions, these intimate and uplifting gatherings strengthen community bonds and spark new connections. Join us in celebrating the voices that shape our community as local organizations and individuals share their stories in the Wingate Studio. Our thanks to Deb Williams, creator of The Flame. An incredible mentor, guide, and facilitator, Deb is known for her long-standing collaboration with the Belfry Theatre and arts organizations across Canada. Our thanks also to the Belfry Theatre for supporting this program. Free to attend, please register in advance.
