Opera GR will be showing a live performance of Mozart’s comedy Così fan tutte on the jumbotron at Fifth Third Ballpark Friday, Oct. 23, at 6:30 p.m. The event will allow people to enjoy the performance while safely distancing from one another.
Così fan tutte is a comedic piece about a bachelor and a maid working together to unite two couples at a school for lovers. The cast includes Grand Rapids natives Christine Amon playing the role of Dorabella and Corie Auger playing the maid Despina.
“Whether you’ve never been to the opera, you’re looking for something different to do on a Friday evening or you just need some laughter in your life, you don’t want to miss this,” said Executive Director of Opera Grand Rapids Emilee Syrewicze.
General Admission for the event is $25 and for Metro Health frontline workers tickets are only $5.
Attendees at the event will be required to wear face coverings and will have their temperature checked at the door .
“The arts and a sense of community are so important to our health and well-being, particularly when so much has changed in our daily lives,” said Metro Health President and CEO Peter Hahn.
This event is apart of Opera GR’s second annual Opera week from Oct. 19-25.
