Urban Opera to perform "The Witch of Endor"

Urban Opera, a local company that made a very impressive debut last year with a brilliant production of Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas," will return in October to perform "The Witch of Endor."

Again performing Purcell, the show will use the scene "In Guilty Night" which will be expanded with a liturgical piece from the opera "Indian Queen." There will also be three short silent films and a poem by Rudyard Kipling.

There will be two performances on October 30 and 31, both 4:00 pm matinees at a venue (or perhaps an outdoor space?) on Union Street. It will be a one hour show.

No further details are available at this time, but I would put this on your calendar and make sure to see at least one of performances. This is an adventurous, talented company and you probably won't want to miss this. When I know more, so shall you.
