Seeing the opera, Invisible Cities, based on Italo Calvino’s book, was an incredible experience. The audience walked around Union Station, listening on headphones as performers danced and sang around them. At the same time interspersed among everyone, were travelers en route to other destinations who were often taken aback by the performance going on around them.

Artbound on KCET is currently showing an interesting documentary on the opera worth checking out:
