Mozart’s epic music comes to a 1950s street corner with a unique mash-up of passionate arias, exciting choruses, 50s doo-wop, and 60s girl groups. This mythical show is family-friendly and full of adventure.
Our adaptation, The Return of King Idomeneo, brings the action to mid-century America, as the neighborhood celebrates the return of its victorious hometown heroes from the long and bloody Trojan War. General Idomeneo has taken hostages from Troy: three brilliant scientists, Hecuba and her daughters Ilia and Cassandra. And Neptune, the vengeful god of the sea, prepares to unleash his sewage monsters.
All ages are welcome! Bring a water bottle, sunscreen, a folding chair or a blanket for seating on the grass. Indoor, accessible bathrooms are available in the Farm Education Building.
All performances are offered for a suggested donation ($5–$45). Children under 12 are welcome to attend for free.
