Little and Pulitzer Prize-winning librettist Royce Vavrek’s comic opera about the Flemish folk sport of Finch-Sitting, Vinkensport.
SFJAZZ is turned into a virtual arena, with a live operatic tennis match, immersive film projections, and fashion and media social artifacts, for an evening of creative, comedic, and meaningful contemporary opera at its best!
