Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was 12-years-old when he wrote a charming chamber opera called Bastien and Bastienne. Bastienne, a shepherdess and her addle-brained shepherd, Bastien and the village flim-flam man collide and collude in all things romantic to send-up every operatic and social convention and give everyone a good laugh at life and love opera-style! The artists from The American Center for Puccini Studies will present this insouciant little opera in a cheeky new English translation by ACPS Founding Artistic Director, Dr. Harry N. Dunstan. The performance is suitable for all ages and open to the public. Call the library at 240-777-0200 for more information.
