The opera is performed with full orchestra, sung in the original Italian with projected English titles, and spoken dialog in English. This is a concert performance with minimal costumes and staging and without sets, performed from the 51 Walden drama stage.

In order to give more of our singers a chance to perform, we have double cast all roles, so there are different casts for the two performances.

The comic opera was first performed in Vienna in 1786. It continues the plot of The Barber of Seville, and consistently places among the top 10 of operas performed worldwide.

All performers have been fully vaccinated (except those under 12) and will be wearing masks except for times when they interfere with performing; the hall has had UV scrubbers installed and air purifiers in the lobby; and the overhead fans will be running in our high-ceilinged space.

Audience members who are not fully vaccinated MUST wear a mask at all times. Given the current state of COVID infections in Massachusetts and the anticipated dynamics as winter arrives, we strongly encourage vaccinated audience members to wear a mask as well, unless for some good reason you cannot, in the interest of our communal safety in breathing shared air. Children under 12 MUST wear a mask at all times, but we discourage you from bringing them, again for our communal safety.

The performance is a benefit fundraiser to support operation of the 51 Walden facility. Proceeds contribute valuable funds to the maintenance and operation of 51 Walden, a community resource supporting hundreds of local residents each week throughout the year.

Donations to support 51 Walden can be made directly here, or by sending a check payable to "51 Walden" to P O Box 251, Concord, MA 01742. 51 Walden is a 501(c)3 organization.
