Little Patuxent Opera Institute is pleased to Present
An Evening of Operatic Music!
Smith Theatre
Little Patuxent Opera Institute will present its students in three workshop performances entitled "Plottings, Pleasures and Pleas...Oh My!” The first half of the program includes a potpourri of operatic scenes, while the second half will be devoted to Puccini's beautiful and heart rending Suor Angelica. We are excited that guest artists from the former Baltimore Opera Company will join the LPOI singers by appearing in featured and small roles. The inclusion of professional singers in the production is a wonderful educational opportunity for our younger LPOI artists. While most scenes will be performed in their original language, the opera will be performed in English.
Performances are being held in the newly renovated Smith Theatre in the Horowitz Visual and Performing Arts Building on the Campus of Howard Community College on Friday, July 31st and Saturday, August 1st at 7:30pm, as well as Sunday, August 2nd at 3pm.
