Welcome to April! Can you believe the end of the 2022–2023 season is near? But don’t worry; there are still two more opportunities to open your world. First, we have Listen, Wilhelmina!, our fun and engaging family opera for young people and the young at heart. At a mere twenty-five minutes, this show is the perfect way to introduce young people to opera. Then in early May, we have Sondheim on Sondheim, a retrospective of the father of the modern American musical.
