SIGHTS & SOUNDS

A collaboration between the Speed Museum and Kentucky Opera, Sights & Sounds is a unique program that puts the opera in a musical, visual, and historic context. Visiting artists, Kentucky Opera music staff, and Speed Museum curators will join forces to present these programs on three Sunday afternoons this year. Programs begin at 1:30pm in the Speed Museum Auditorium. The Speed Museum is located at 2035 South Third Street.

These fascinating programs are FREE!

Lunch & Listen is a series of three one-hour presentations that highlight upcoming productions. The programs feature artistic staff and principal artists from current Kentucky Opera productions. Space is limited, so reservations are required.
