Sumidagawa & Curlew River
& Accent Inns
City Opera Vancouver partners with Accent Inns to provide accommodation for our artists, and our out-of-town audience.
They have a Richmond / YVR location that is 17 minutes by car from the Frederic Wood Theatre at UBC, and that offers free shuttle service to and from YVR, and the Canada Line. (The Frederic Wood Theatre, btw, is just steps from The Chan Centre. Park at the Moose and Squirrel end of the Chan Parkade and you’re there!)
If you have friends coming in for the show, Accent Inns will offer them a special discount. It’s easy to obtain. Here’s how. Please visit their website at www.accentinns.com/city-opera-vancouver-sumidagawa-curlew-river
OR call them at 1.800.663.0298, and mention City Opera Vancouver.
That’s all there is to it. (And please make sure your friends order their tickets soon…)
Thanks!

A Special Invitation
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009
All best wishes for 2010!
In order to create Sumidagawa & Curlew River in May 2010, we have made a co-production agreement with UBC Theatre and Film, and Blackbird Theatre.
We would like to tell you about Blackbird’s new production of the American classic, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee. It runs from 27 December to 16 January at The Cultch. It stars Gabrielle Rose and Kevin McNulty as Martha and George, and Craig Erickson and Meg Roe as Nick and Honey. Its director is John Wright, who is also directing Curlew River for us.
We are proud to tell you about this and, BTW, it is going to be a smash success.
“To spend an evening with George and Martha is to be on the battlefield of an alarmingly ferocious, caustically funny marital war. It’s a fight to the death. You don’t even think about doing this play unless you have a truly superb cast — and we have.” JOHN WRIGHT, DIRECTOR
