Milwaukee Theater Musicals Opera

 

 

Opera

 

 

I am lucky that Milwaukee has an excellent opera company, The Florentine.
They currently do three productions a year.

I saw my first opera in 1951 when I hitch-hiked to New York City,
and was entranced by The Meistersinger von Nuremberg
at the City Center.


I have been fortunate to have seen many more around the world.
