It's Mozart's musical myth of humanity in peril! It's 1950s doo-wop and an epic Greek adventure! It's Mixed Precipitation's 17th annual summer opera extravaganza!
All performances are offered for a suggested donation ($5 – $45). Recommended for all ages.
ALL ARE WELCOME and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Children under 12 are welcome to attend for free.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
Mozart’s epic music comes to a 1950s street corner with a unique mash-up of passionate arias, exciting choruses, 50s doo-wop, and 60s girl groups. This mythical show is family-friendly and full of adventure.
Our adaptation, The Return of King Idomeneo, brings the action to mid-century America, as the neighborhood celebrates the return of its victorious hometown heroes from the long and bloody Trojan War. General Idomeneo has taken hostages from Troy: three brilliant scientists, Hecuba and her daughters Ilia and Cassandra. And Neptune, the vengeful god of the sea, prepares to unleash his sewage monsters.
This event is made possible by the Opp-Hvidtson Foundation and the North Shore Music Association.
