Cascadia Chamber Opera is presenting Daniel Daly's beautiful opera The Banshee, a new chamber opera in English inspired by the Irish legend. The opera is the composer Daniel Daly's fanciful speculation on the origin of The Banshee, a character out of Irish legend. In three short scenes, the opera tells the story of a witch whose quest for power leads her from one depravity to the next, to her transformation into The Banshee, and to final understanding. The performances are July 29th and 31st at 7pm at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts on 16th and Franklin in Astoria. Admission is $20 at partnersforthepac.org.
