Johnny Skeeky - An Opera About Shreveport!

When Shreveport scion Boudreaux Donaudy dies, he leaves everything to St. John Berchman's, and the family isn't too happy about that. Young Remy Joe knows just what to do --- he calls in his sweetheart Loretta's daddy, a slick country lawyer from out the bayou. The snobby Donaudys think the Schicchis are trash, but they change their tune when Johnny comes up with a plan to save the family fortune. Question is, will Johnny help the Donaudys, or will he just help himself? Puccini's only comedy is a laugh-filled gem, and you'll swoon for the big tune, "O mio babbino caro."

Performed by the young artists of Spotlight on Opera in an original English translation by Executive Director Cindy Sadler, this one-act comedy will have you rolling in the aisles and humming along to one of the world's most beautiful arias, heard in everything from beauty contests to film scores, ads, and even Grand Theft Auto!

After intermission, enjoy our Opera Scenes showcase, with excerpts from popular shows like The Magic Flute, Die Fledermaus, Into the Woods, and more.

Sunday, July 2, 2:00 p.m.
