Camelot
by
Lerner and Loewe
|
Camelot:
an enchanted kingdom where honor and chivalry reign.
Good
King Arthur woos and wins the lovely Guinevere, but betrayal
can happen even in magical places. Arthur loses Guinevere
to the French Knight, Lancelot, whose devotion to Arthur is
second only to his desire for Guinevere. Love, anguish and
forgiveness are poignantly portrayed in the evocative text
and gorgeous melodies of Lerner and Loewe.
Come, bring the family, and
join the Knights of the Round Table for an unforgettable evening
as time stands still "for one brief shining moment
that was known as Camelot."

Marriage
of Figaro
by
Mozart
|
The
Marriage of Figaro: Mozart's lively romantic comedy of
class warfare at its most tuneful!
Servants
Figaro and Susanna are deeply in love and plan a simple wedding.
But first, the Count wants special favors from the bride-to-be,
much to the despair of his wife. One of the world's favorite
operas, this brilliant comedy pits the 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.
Performance
Dates:
July 17, 26, August 1, 7 (all
performances will be held at the Paramount)
