CCM Opera mounts a rarely performed Mozart comedy with a modern...

October 24, 2024

Just like in the real world, opera is full of human hopes, fears, love and heartbreak. With larger-than-life characters and drama, some opera can seem to have more in common with The Real World, MTV’s classic reality show that launched the genre. CCM Opera’s production of Mozart’s La finta giardiniera takes this similarity and runs with it: the story all unfolds on a soundstage, and the characters are all members of a reality TV cast who play up their personal drama for the benefit of the cameras. The production runs Oct 31-Nov 2 in Patricia Corbett Theater. Tickets are on sale now through the CCM Box Office.
