But wait! There’s more! Prepare to be serenaded by the heart-wrenching arias of Il Tabarro, a classical treat for opera aficionados. And for those with a love for traditional performing arts, The Sea is Still a Mystery, a shadow play by Jumaadi and Michael Toisuta, offers a unique visual feast that beautifully narrates tales of the sea.
