360° Opera: Stunning "immersive" productions are surging in popularity

By Greg Stepanich

What’s it like to be on the world’s tallest mountain? “Endlessly glorious, endlessly exciting,” says Pippa Blake, a retired ski-academy administrator from Victoria, B.C., who in 2007 traveled to Nepal to fulfill her life­long dream of visiting Mount Everest’s base camp.

This article was published in the Summer 2023 issue of Opera America Magazine.
