Friday Night at the Opera: Tristan and Isolde (Wagner)

*** Admission: $35/$30 (FP members)*** In-person Tickets Live Webcast ($20)&nbsp;Richard Shindell lives as both an immigrant and 
emigrant, crossing thresholds, that informs his illumination of the 
human experience through narrative song. Shindell has inhabited a Zen 
Buddhist monastery and busked in the streets of Paris.&nbsp;Originally from New York, now living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 
Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, juxtapose
 ideas and images, inhabit characters, vividly evoking entire worlds 
along the way and expanding our sense of just what it is a song may be. 
Meticulously recorded over three years in New York and Buenos Aires, his
 most recent release, Careless, offered an ambitious, luxurious, full- 
length statement. Shindell immersed himself in the studio, allowing the 
time and latitude to explore, experiment, take risks—to play as each of 
these eleven songs was given form and substance. While his signature 
acoustic guitar style is used to good effect, Careless also found 
Shindell plugging in more.
North Carolina singer-songwriter Jess Klein performs
 her Americana/folk-rock originals with a “voice of unblinking tenacity”
 (New York Times).&nbsp; Jess Klein came to this world to pull firebrand 
power and childlike joy from our darkest shadows. Her acoustic-driven, 
hook-laden story songs revel in the polychrome of human experience – 
joy, rage, sensuality and resilience. Hailed as “a major talent” 
(Billboard),&nbsp; Jess has appeared on Good Morning America and NPR’s All 
Things Considered, performed at the Newport, Winnipeg, Falcon Ridge and 
Philadelphia Folk Festivals, and shared stages with&nbsp; Arlo Guthrie, Josh 
Ritter, Ani DiFranco, Steve Earle and Alejandro Escovedo.&nbsp; Jess’s live 
shows are known for their intimate and soulful atmosphere; her emotive 
vocals and poignant storytelling invite her fans on a journey through 
themes of love, loss, and resilience.

No crystal ball. Just clarity.
Specializing in real-life Happily Ever Afters, sessions with Shannon are intuitive, heart-centered, and woven in joy. Unlike psychic readings that focus on predicting fixed outcomes, these sessions open space for healing and more joy in your life—whether you’re seeking greater love in relationships, clarity in career and purpose, peace in health and well-being, or guidance for the next step in your journey.
Each session is unique and may include:
✨ Soul-centered guidance and inspiration for your path ✨ Intuitive insight into patterns and emerging possibilities in your life ✨ Energy clearing and heart-healing for release and peace ✨ Support in letting go of what no longer serves you ✨ Encouragement for wishes, dreams, and new beginnings ✨ Joy-filled awakenings and upshifts into higher resonance
Here, you are invited to step into clarity, peace, and joy in ways that touch every part of your life. A session may help you release burdens you’ve carried too long, notice new possibilities you hadn’t seen before, reconnect with what is sacred, or simply feel lighter and more at ease in where you are now.
Each session leaves you with guidance, encouragement, and inspiration — and with the sense that dreams can unfold in real life, miracles are possible, and your very own Happily Ever After may be nearer than you've imagined.
What to Know: All sessions with Shannon are in Divine timing; always free (no costs, no strings); and are complementary with all belief systems (secular or nonsecular) and all paths of life.
About Shannon
Shannon is a mystic, master of sciences, interfaith minister, and founder of Joy Alchemy®. She specializes in real-life Happily Ever Afters, carrying a rare fusion of mystic depth, scientific clarity, and compassion in her work.
Whether in a one-on-one session, a group circle, or a community class, Shannon walks beside others as they discover peace, clarity, miracles, and joy in their own lives.
