Cleveland Strip Clubs: Operas in Oberlin Saturday
Gian Carlo Menotti’s “The Medium” and Leonard Bernstein’s “Trouble in Tahiti” will be presented as a double-bill program. No tickets are required.
Jonathon Field, director of Oberlin College’s opera theatre program, will direct.
Field paired the two operas to emphasize what he described in a press release as the “rhythm of the American experience.” Together, said Field, these operas present the “dark and light side of American culture.”
Finney Chapel is on the Oberlin campus on Professor Street across from Tappan Square. For more information, call (440) 775-8121.
