Guess what’s all the rage in Hollywood these days? No, I don’t mean Botox. And no, I’m not talking about Oxy Cotin or Adderall or whatever prescription drugs people abuse these days. No, no no no. I am talking about the opera darling! Pleasing to the senses without having to go to rehab after wards, the opera theatre’s the latest and greatest hangout graced by lovely ladies such as Emmy Rossum and Chloë Sevigny.

QPAC’s getting in on the action with its first production of the season, The Girl of the Golden West. Set amongst the rough-and-tumble of a Californian mining camp, this new production blends all the action, romance and pace of the greatest Hollywood westerns with a treasure trove of Puccini’s melodies. It’s the perfect opportunity to dress up pretty and drink some nice champagne while watching an amazing show – and it’s all in the name of getting cultured a la Sevigny.
