Sydney Parson '22 was selected to appear in The Hours opera with the Philadelphia Orchestra on March 20 at 8 p.m. The Hours, a Pulitzer Prize–winning novel by Michael Cunningham and an award-winning film, chronicles a day in the life of three women from three different eras with interwoven stories connected to Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway. The Orchestra and a brilliant cast bring this compelling story to life in a new form.
Sydney is also a proud, year-round member of the Commonwealth Youthchoirs, which helped her prepare for her audition for this unique opportunity to work alongside great vocal artists and be a part of this world premiere opera.
