Join us on Sunday, May 1, 7 p.m. at the First Congregational Church, 1106 Chestnut Street for An Evening at the Opera.
Janet Mensen Reynolds and her friends from the Lyric Opera Chorus return for our 20th annual An Evening at the Opera. They will preview operas from the Lyric’s 2016-2017 season by singing famous arias, duets, and other pieces.
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. The concert lasts approximately two hours and will have one intermission and refreshments will be served.
