James W. Wright's Golden Memory

One of my first Vancouver Opera experiences...

We were producing our first “Gardens that Sing” special event, a roving garden party requiring lots of volunteers staffing posts, outdoors, at various homes and gardens.

It was raining – hard – and I thought, “Oh no, our volunteers won’t show up in all this rain!” Boy was I wrong! As I drove 'round the curve, I saw a large group of smiling women standing under their umbrellas just waiting to get the special event underway, completely undeterred!

I learned my lesson about Vancouver weather, our attitude toward it, and the opera company’s volunteers all in just a few wet moments!
