Opera Boston presents:
The Telephone by Gian Carlo Menotti
A comic opera in one act.

Sat, October 2, at 11 am

Opera Boston's "The Telephone" is a great way to introduce your family to the joys of opera and introduce music into their lives! Don't miss this exciting opportunity to share with your child.

Today, cell phones are everywhere, but does this easy form of communication really allow us to better connect with one another? Ben desperately wants to talk with Lucy and ask her to marry him. But each time the critical moment arrives, she interrupts him to answer the phone. Using persistence and some creative problem solving, Ben finally succeeds in getting Lucy's attention to ask this very important question! This engaging theatrical program
features a complete performance of "The Telephone" plus a lively interactive introduction to the elements of opera and musical theater (three artists and stage manager).
