For Couture Opera’s fifth season, this year's event will transform one of Knoxville's newest architectural treasures into a living stage where music, fashion, architecture, preservation, and storytelling become one immersive experience.

Flights of Fantasy reimagines the runway. It is a theatrical experience, a celebration of artistic collaboration and a tribute to transformation in people, in places, and in communities. Set within a century-old landmark reborn, the evening will unfold in five acts as couture and song rise together in an experience unlike anything Knoxville has seen before.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6 | 7PM
MCCARTY HOLSAPLE MCCARTY ARCHITECTS, INC.

Proceeds support Knoxville Opera's artistic and educational programming, making this evening of song and design a celebration with real impact.

On sale until Thursday, November 5 at 12pm.
