PaulYee did a fantastic job grounding the opera by recalling the old Chinatown soundscape he grew up in -- Siyi dialects sung thro Act 1 & more ! @WYipJD @CityOperaVan @explorASIAN @ElwinYVR @SFU_DLC @DavidHTWong @ffeimo @cmcnational @myseumTO @Accesasie @CtownT2G @CanadaCouncil
Finally had a sneak preview of the opera "Chinatown" accompanied on a single keyboard. Already impressive. Can't imagine when a full orchestra is playing! Siyi dialects being sung in a Western opera for the 1st time in the world. So moving! And so brave👍👍 @CityOperaVan

History & food: that's what we do at our #BanquetOfStories returning as a hybrid event next month with a focus on #refugee stories @issbc with @explorASIAN & many partners. Stay tuned!
Oh how I love history in whatever form it comes and today I was most blessed with learning about and enjoying a Chilean culinary tradition. My friends next door are celebrating 3 National holidays in Chili - from afar here in Calgary - and their mom so graciously shared these…
