Miss The Marriage of Figaro – Final Two Performances August
1 &7! One of the world's
favorite operas, this brilliant comedy pits amorous, unfaithful
and scheming characters against each other in a merry romp
of quirky sub-plots, disguises and misplaced love notes. Mozart's
incomparable music soars to a conclusion in celebration of
true love. Fast-paced and charming, The
Marriage of Figaro is perfect for opera novices and
aficionados alike and is in English.

text and gorgeous melodies of Lerner and Loewe. Come join
the Knights of the Round Table for an unforgettable evening
as time stands still in Camelot.

works. From Ralph Vaughan Williams' “A Serenade to Music”
to pieces from “Henry V” to songs from West Side Story
