POP is back and getting "Bizet" again with Don Procopio, an Italian bel canto opera buffa in the style of Don Pasquale or L'elisir d'amore composed by Georges Bizet (of Carmen fame). POP shenanigans will be on full display in this 1910s setting, a perfect fit for Heritage Square.

Synopsis/Setting
1910 Highland Park, Los Angeles

Ostrich farmer Don Andronico, an old miser, wants to marry his niece Bettina to another miser, Don Procopio, because he is worried that a young man will spend all her money. Bettina is however in love with Odoardo. Assisted by her aunt Eufemia and brother Ernesto, she plans to thwart the old men. Procopio is terrified that Bettina appears to be a grasping spendthrift, and tries to get out of the marriage. When she insists that he do so, he pulls out of the wedding, leaving the door open for a happy ending for Bettina and Odoardo.
