Nickel City Opera's Valerian Ruminski
According to Nickel City Opera's Valerian Ruminski, “During the pandemic, all was not horrific. Some wonderful things happened: I pulled away a few layers of very personal and private matters to reveal a powerful, wonderful surprise. The experience has changed my perspective on my career, my inner life, my relationships, and my future as an active member of the Buffalo arts community. This happenstance has inspired me to reveal to the public what the nature of it is and to tell the story in a unique and musical way.”
Within the historic setting of Buffalo's Saturn Club, Ruminski sings a full program of songs and opera extracts to enhance the personal story he will share throughout the evening. All event safety protocols and procedures will be adhered to for these events including a fifty person maximum capacity per performance.
