Opera Bus
A relaxing and worry-free way to attend the Sunday Matinée!
Pacific Opera Victoria invites those from out of town to take our Opera Bus to the Sunday Matinée! We run two Opera Buses: one on the Saanich Peninsula and a second Opera Bus for our up-island patrons. Leave the driving to the professionals and relax with other opera lovers. During the trip, you can watch a DVD of Principal Coach Robert Holliston's pre-performance lecture!
The Opera Bus will arrive at the Royal Theatre in time for the 2:30 pm performance.
