Thank you to the The Highlands Current for highlighting this Sunday's performance by the Met Opera Artists. They'll perform for us TWICE. At 1:00PM they perform a "Classics for Kids" concert titled "The Magic of Mozart". Geared toward kids, this program will explore opera, voice types, and story through an interactive experience of Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”. Learn how to listen to opera, what the different voice types are, and experience the power of classical music up close and personal. Fun for the whole family! They at 4:00 PM they perform a program titled "The History of Opera." With composer/professor Whitney George as our guide, the Met Chorus Artists will take us through the history of opera, accompanied by the fantastic Derrick Goff. Arias, duets, and ensembles from every operatic era will weave through the lecture, letting you experience opera up close, perhaps even changing the way you listen to this art form.
