Opera in Focus
Enjoy a festive holiday puppet show presented by Opera in
Focus, which has been in operation in its beautiful Rolling Meadows theater since
1993. The puppet maestro will emerge from the pit, the curtains will part and a
parade of puppets will perform the Act 1 Love Duet and the entire Act 111 of La Boheme. In addition, you will hear
“White Christmas Interlude” featuring carols performed by legendary Soprano
Leontyne Price. People have been doing opera with puppets since the 16th
century. And of course, Chicago has a long history including Kungsholm
Miniature Grand Opera where Bob Fosser got the idea for Opera in Focus in 1958.
Lunch will be at Sam’s of Arlington. Fee includes lunch, ticket, and
transportation. Departs from our Northfield location.
