Menotti

The Old Maid and the Thief
Amelia Goes to the Ball

January 24, 26 at 7:30 p.m.
Two performances only!

Music and librettos by Gian Carlo Menotti
Sung in the original English and Italian with projected translation over the stage

Two delightful, high-spirited one-act comedies! In Amelia, a woman prepares to go out on the town, but first has to deal with both her jealous husband and her overly passionate lover. In The Old Maid and the Thief, a spinster takes in a handsome drifter who steals more than just her money. Boasting many memorable and beautiful arias by a master craftsman, these operas just may steal your heart, too.
