This year’s conservatory performs Seymour Barab’s satiric 50 minute piece that pokes good fun at opera seria with a story of four characters caught in a lovers’ quarrel, full of miscues and witty humor. Sung in English with piano, this piece presents a perfect pill for anyone who needs to remember to take opera less seriously.
