“Night at the Grand Opera” – All Ages Rococo Romp at Jean Sweeney Open Space Park (1925 Sherman St., Alameda)
Grab your chairs and blankets and head outdoors to celebrate the diverse cultural traditions of our community with live theater, music and dance from around the globe at Rhythmix in the Parks!
String & Shadow Puppet Theater returns this summer with a brand-new production, Night at the Grand Opera! Set in an old European opera house during the golden age of Grand Opera, Night at the Grand Opera is a frenzied romp through a candlelit night at the Opera. Rococo extravagance is fashioned with elaborate cardboard sets that collapse and unfold to reveal the many great dramas of the opera house (not all of which happen on stage.). Love triangles, converging revolutionary plots, art-loving flies and disaffected vermin are brought to life with cardboard and papier-mache.
String & Shadow Puppet Theater is presented in partnership with the City of Alameda as part of the Rhythmix in the Parks free family concert and festival series, bringing people of all ages together to experience and explore music, dance, visual art and educational opportunities all summer long in Alameda’s City Parks.
