Opera In Focus DATE CHANGED TO MAY 24

Celebrating the 66th anniversary of
Opera In Focus. See the world's most lifelike puppets
grace the operatic and musical stage. William B. Fosser's Puppet Production Opera in Focus presents fully staged scenes from well-known operas in performances that run about one hour in length. Each performance may offer between three and five scenes, depending on the length of the individual scene. A narration of the action by the well-known actor Tony Mockus precedes each scene. A demonstration of the operation of the puppets and a tour of the highly technical backstage area follows each performance.
