SMC Opera Theatre Presents "OperaSights!"

The Santa Monica College (SMC) Music Department is pleased to present the SMC Opera Theatre in a performance of "OperaSights!" The concert takes the audience on a rich musical tour through some of the beautiful moments in opera across the centuries.

The concert will be held on Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7:30 p.m. in The Eli & Edythe Broad Stage at the SMC Performing Arts Center, 1310 11th Street (at Santa Monica Boulevard), Santa Monica.

"'OperaSights!' is a great way to experience short operatic scenes from different time periods and places," said SMC Opera Director Dr. Janelle DeStefano. "We will travel through the magical worlds of Mozart's Magic Flute, and Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann, through Italy and Sicily with Verdi's Rigoletto and Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana, then on to Puccini's La bohème and Verdi's La traviata in Paris."
