"Make Our Garden Grow" Soirée

Utah Opera Production Studios | 336 N 400 W
Black Box Theatre

Following a collaborative adventure between Utah Symphony and Utah Opera at Abravanel Hall, join us at the Utah Opera Production Studios and star in your own picaresque story by re-visiting Candide’s journey.  Enjoy food and drink from around the world at stations featuring the cuisines from Candide’s starting point in Westphalia, Germany to the gold-covered El Dorado to the jungles of South America, and more! And don’t forget to stop by USUO’s garden and help “Make Our Garden Grow”! Opportunities to support USUO’s education programs abound through unique gifting ideas and experiences at this fundraising event. Your contribution will indeed nurture USUO and allow us to continue flourishing.
