Opera Edwardsville returns to the Historic Wildey!
This year, OE returns with its signature holiday program to the historic Wildey Theatre! To commemorate the performance, Opera Edwardsville commissioned prominent local artist Cynthia Hamilton to create a painting of the historic theater to be featured on OE's 2024 season poster.
This calls for a toast!
A champagne toast will be hosted for all by OE’s 2024 season sponsors and donors, immediately following the performance. All ticket holders are welcome to meet-and-greet the artists and raise a glass in the third floor event space attached to the Wildey Theatre.
