Chamber outing to Petite Opera! See Petite Opera’s original spooferetta, “Al Fresco – Life through Opera-Colored Glasses!” Petite Opera is professional opera right in our backyard.
Experience the comical adventures of our favorite lovable geek, Al Fresco, an Italian-American from Chicago, as he looks for love with modern-day versions of famous opera heroines. An original story and English lyrics set to Sullivan, Mozart, Puccini and others. Written by Petite Opera’s board members, who are also Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce members, this delightful operetta will have you laughing all night long as it pokes fun at some common—and not so common—characters from Chicago and its surrounding communities. It is fun and appropriate for all ages. Absolutely no knowledge of opera is necessary. No opera heroines will die as a result of this production, and you can leave your tiaras and tuxedos at home.
