From the 1997-98 Season

Our 97-98 season finale: a staged production of a sublime opera about the arts and their relationship to the people and government of any century. The ARTS versus the Government . . . good guys versus bad guys; begging for recognition & money; expression versus control; overcoming the odds. Sound familiar? Join us as these timeless themes connect the past with the present in our production of a staged BAROQUE OPERA. What else can we say? Ultimately, music conquers all.
