The Thomas Ford Memorial Library is pleased to invite you to Join us on Sunday, May 3, 7 p.m. at the First Congregational Church, 1106 Chestnut Street for An Evening at the Opera. No registration required.
Janet Mensen Reynolds and her friends from the Lyric Opera Chorus return for our 19th annual An Evening at the Opera. They will preview operas from the Lyric’s 2015-2016 season by singing famous arias, duets, and other pieces. Accompanied by the renowned pianist Patrick Holland, the quartet provides a full evening of song.
Held at the acoustically pleasing First Congregational Church of Western Springs, the concert also serves as an introduction to the stories of opera. Between songs, a narrator entertainingly recounts the lives of the operas’ composers and describes opera characters, scenes, plots, and their inevitable twists.
An Evening at the Opera is a free concert generously presented as a gift to the community by the family of Pauline and Elmer Kennedy. This year’s concert will be dedicated to the memory of David Brown Woodward (1935-2015), a long time Western Springs resident who was active in civic activities, including membership on the Library Board.
