You know that friend?

The one who says "I don't really do opera" when you mention where you're going February 20-22?

Here's what they're actually thinking:
* "It's probably in Italian or something."
* "Everyone there will be snobby, and I'll feel weird."
* "It's going to be three hours of sitting still."

Here's what you can tell them:
* It's in English. The whole thing.
* Jeans are fine. So is getting fancy. Whatever.
* It's 90 minutes total: 60 minutes of music, two breaks to process your feelings and grab a drink.

But words only go so far. Let them hear it.

"This is Joyce DiDonato—Wichita State alum, Kansas legend, one of the greatest voices on the planet—singing the aria that ends our show. Beautiful, right? Now imagine it ten feet away from you at Fisch Haus. 4 minutes. We dare you not to feel something."

And here's the part that matters:
They'll be close enough to see tears. To feel breath. To watch a heart break in real time.

This isn't opera like they're imagining.
This is Fisch Haus. Strings and harpsichord. Twenty Kansas artists doing world-class work.
This is visceral.

------------------------------------------------------------

📍 Fisch Haus (that cool industrial space downtown)
🎭 60 minutes of music + two intermissions to debrief/cry/drink
👗 No dress code. Seriously. (Except pants. Pants are required. We checked with the lawyers.)
🍷 Vibe: Intimate, intense, accessible

🎟 Friday 2/20 @ 8pm
🎟 Saturday 2/21 @ 8pm
🎟 Sunday 2/22 @ 3pm

------------------------------------------------------------

Why bring a skeptic?

Because emotional devastation is better with company.
Because you want them to stop underestimating what opera can be.
Because watching someone experience this for the first time—that's the thing.

BRING THEM. WE'LL DO THE REST!
