HIHA July membership meeting is an afternoon at Opera in the Ozarks. The opera is in English and begins at 3:00. We will purchase tickets together as a block to sit together. If you would like to attend, the cost is $41.76. Simple process - respond "going" and we'll send you a QR code to purchase your tickets or come by your house to collect your check.Deadline to purchase is May 10 to make sure we are able to purchase the block of tickets. The Opera sells out fast!
We will meet in the Barn parking lot at 2:00 on July 9 to pick up tickets and caravan along 187 to 62 Inspiration Point (a short distance). We'll follow the Opera with a beer/wine exchange and catered sandwiches for a separate charge at the Barn. You can do both or either one independently. Information on the dinner will be sent on a separate email.
Candide,Leonard Bernstein’s take on Voltaire’s story, follows a good‑hearted but clueless young guy who keeps getting knocked around by life—wars, earthquakes, shipwrecks, getting sold off like property—you name it. Through all of it, he keeps repeating his teacher’s feel‑good slogan that this is “the best of all possible worlds,” even when the world is clearly beating him up. He chases his sweetheart Cunegonde across continents, only to find more nonsense and cruelty at every stop. After enough hard knocks to last ten lifetimes, he finally meets an old farmer who doesn’t bother with big speeches or fancy ideas. The man just works his land, minds his business, and lives in peace. That’s when Candide finally gets it: real satisfaction comes from putting in honest work and taking care of what’s yours—summed up in the line, “we must cultivate our garden.”
