Alcina's Island: A Picnic Operetta

Presented by Mixed Precipitation
Touring to community gardens in August and September 2011, our summer tradition of opera in the urban eco-system continues! In our colorful re-imagining of Handel’s 1735 opera, the garden becomes a truck stop on the American highway. We combine Handel’s early baroque with outlaw country, trucker songs and classic old time music. The magic of this Island will be all the more savory, with Chef Nick Schneider’s five course sampling menu of locally sourced treats created for this performance.
