Patrons Agree that Petite Opera's AL FRESCO - LIFE THROUGH OPERA-COLORED GLASSES is not to be missed!

Only Two Performances Left! Don't Miss It! 

"Such a fun show with such talented singers! We highly recommend this show. The opera parodies were funny!" – Diane

This was perfect for "non opera lovers". The evening was enjoyable, the voices were fantastic, and it turned opera into an everyday experience." -a former non-opera lover

"... a takeoff on some operas, with incredible singers. It was very enjoyable." - Mary

"Not knowing what to expect - we are not REAL big fans of regular Opera - we were delighted with this performance. The voices were wonderful. The story was charming and it was in English so we could understand most of it. Some of the opera parodies were really funny - everyone was laughing out loud! There were young girls in the audience and at intermission I asked if they liked it and they said yes! It was a lovely way to spend a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon. Thank you." - Jannie

"My husband and I truly enjoyed the performance. We did not know what to expect when we arrived, however, it was great hearing the songs sung in English by the opera performers. They incorporated a lot of comedy into their songs as well. Al Fresco tried to get the audience involved with his story line. Will definitely be attending [Petite Opera's] December production [Amahl and the Night Visitors]." - Lisa

A Successful Weekend Premiere of Al Fresco

Petite Opera Productions had a very successful opening of Al Fresco: Life Through Opera-Colored Glasses this past weekend.  In fact, here is a testimonial from one patron:

"Having gone to the opening night of the newly-formed Petite Opera Productions' (POP) “Al Fresco: Life through Opera-Colored Glasses,” I enthusiastically recommend it to anyone who loves music or is afraid but curious of that classical genre known as “opera.” Comedic timing, precise elocution, and expressive singing are fundamentals in delivering such a performance effectively, and I was not disappointed. One can certainly appreciate the integrity and artistry with which these professionals performed and how they related to the audience members. Perhaps, the greatest strength of these artists' work was the modernization of classic opera characters and scenes (and even stereotypes) in a manner that is both appealing to youngsters and adults first encountering opera, as well as to those of us who are opera devotees – the latter of whom would also treasure the musical puns and jokes delivered in both the script and the music. So, take your family and friends and enjoy a delightful evening of what POP calls “Spooferetta.”
