You will hear a bit of the history of the Old Auditorium, fun stories, a lot of music, laughter and excerpts from the shows presented at the Old Auditorium from 1925 to 2025. You will hear from performers, production staff, directors, conductors, coaches and many of the people who called and still call the Old Auditorium their home. The UBC Opera Ensemble will also be joined by many Alumni from the Opera Program. We welcome them back to where it all began!
