Proceeds will ensure Opera Grand Rapids starts the 2023/24 Season on strong financial footing. Georges Bizet’s romantic, one-act operetta about love and omelets was composed for a music competition when the composer was just 18 years old. A youthful vitality permeates this story set in 19th century Padua, Italy, in the home of the Mayor, his wife Veronica, and his love-struck daughter, Laurette. She’s enamored of the ever-resourceful Silvio, an army captain, who dons one disguise after another to infiltrate the household, in order to win the hand of the girl he adores.
