The DTES Carnegie Newsletter, now in its 33rd year, is produced entirely by volunteer labour. Many performing arts groups, including City Opera, band together to help them cover the costs of paper, ink and staples.
The Carnegie Newsletter has long been a strong voice for the views, problems, and solutions put forward by the good folks of the DTES. We are honoured to help.
This important benefit concert will be held at St James Community Square, 3214 West Tenth this year. 7 - 9:30pm, Thursday 14 November. Please join us. Not free, and pay what you can at the door. Thanks!
'BERLIN: The Last Cabaret' is set during the era of the Weimar Republic (1919 - 1933), and explores the extraordinary music, film, culture and people of the era. In a hybrid and collage of opera-cabaret-jazz, we link the actual music of the period with allegory that speaks to our own.
Please join us for a unique take on a unique time. It was as exciting, transgressive, and memorable an era as the 20th C ever knew.
More details to come. Performance Works on Granville Island. 8pm, 23 - 25 January 2020.
