St. George Opera stages a sizzling summer concert

By Sydney Robb

Join the St. George Opera as they perform two of Gian Carlo Menotti’s one-act English comic operas, “The Telephone” and “The Old Maid and the Thief.” The first opera tells the story of a cell-phone-obsessed lady and her love. The second follows gossip, theft, vagabonds, and more in a seemingly quiet town. Join performing artists from New York, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, and southern Utah for any of the six separate performances between June 23 and July 1 in St. George and Ivins with ticket prices ranging from $10 to $35.

The first four performances take place at the Electric Theater, including an open dress rehearsal June 23 followed by official performances on June 24, 26, and 28. The last two performances will be held at SunRiver on June 30 and Kayenta on July 1. All performances will run two hours in length including a short intermission halfway through.

St. George Opera’s open dress rehearsal on June 23 starts at 7 p.m., followed by a 2 p.m. matinee on the June 24. Both the June 26 and 28 showing will also begin at 7 p.m while the SunRiver show will commence at 6:30 p.m. with the final performance in Kayenta starting at 7 p.m.

Ticket prices for the open dress rehearsal are $10; all other performances are $16 per adult or two for $30. Children aged 5–13 years are $5. St. George Opera also provides a $35 family pass for larger groups including two adults and up to three children. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at saintgeorgeopera.yapsody.com.
