Since forming in 2017, Vancouver-based indie rock band, THE NOODLE BOYS, have steadily carved out their place in the local music scene with their distinctive sound and a fierce DIY ethic. Originally from Edmonton and Saskatchewan, members Brett (vocals/drums), Juliano (guitar), and Chad (bass) now call the West Coast home and it’s where their ramen-fueled story has truly taken shape. With a sound that dances between heartbreak and happiness, the band has built an identity that’s both emotionally raw and impossible not to move to.

What’s a Mozart lover to do? Great music and a more-than-decent cast don’t necessarily add up to an enchanting night at the opera. Yes, it’s true that LE NOZZE DI FIGARO ('The Marriage of Figaro') has some of Mozart’s most delicious music; there’s no denying that.
