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.

This event is hosted by MCA and the Winona Arts Center. **This program is not a production of Cotter Schools.**
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.
