Opera at Christ Church Cobble Hill

The Vertical Player Repertory is back. We haven't heard from them in a while but just noticed the other day while walking down Court Street that they'll be performing 2 shows, tomorrow the 10th and the 11th both at 7:30pm. Epiphany: The Complete Canticles of Benjamin Britten will be performed at Christ Church Cobble Hill, at 326 Clinton Street and the corner of Kane. If you haven't been in there before it's a beautiful space and will compliment the opera wonderfully. Tickets are $20 and you can get them at brownpapertickets.com or at the door. Come out and support our neighborhood's only local opera company!

Opera in the Neighborhood!

I remember walking past 219 Court Street a couple of years ago and hearing the sounds of a full operatic chorus practicing coming from this unassuming building. Taking a closer look I realized that it was in fact a theater for the Vertical Player Repertory, an indie opera company that stages full productions at different venues. The latest production will be at Proteus Gowanus, 543 Union St (at Nevins). They'll be performing Francesco Cavalli's La Calisto July 8, 10, 14 and 16th at 8pm with rain dates July 9, 11, 15, and 17th. You can get tickets by calling 800-838-3006 or going to brownpapertickets.com. Go support some local independent opera! We're lucky to have them!
