Opera Vista Presents Les Chansons Macabres Halloween Night
Start your Halloween at AvantGarden with Opera Vista’s Les Chansons Macabres, featuring special guest actor Mischa Hutchings from Nova Arts Project. Come listen to a night of fantastical tales and howling arias. The “night wind” will howl as we “bewitch, bother, and bewilder” you with arias by Menotti, Rogers, and Sondheim, to name a few. Opera Vista performers will include Joe Carl White, Shelley Auer, John Weinel, Kinga Skretkowicz, Michael Walsh, and Misha Penton, with Roger Keele accompanying. Come dressed up: prizes will be awarded for the best costume!
Opera Vista was founded in 2007 with the aim of bringing “modern music to modern audiences”. Led by Artistic Director Viswa Subbaraman, Opera Vista has already made a name for itself with its critically-acclaimed fall productions at Bayou Bend and its annual Opera Festival in May. Opera Vista is a 501(c)3 organization.
