This summer, the
Metroplex Opera Company will celebrate it's ninth season by
presenting in its entirety Mozart's famous comedy, The Marriage
of Figaro. Performances will take place on Friday, July 15 at 7:00
p.m., with a Sunday matinee on July 17 at 2:30 p.m. All performances
will take place at the
Bank of America Theatre at the Charles W. Eisemann Center in Richardson,
Tx.
The
Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and Corporate
Presentations, which opened in September 2002, is located within
Richardson’s Galatyn Park Urban Center, just north of Campbell Road
at Central Expressway. The Bank of America Theatre is a 368-seat
adaptable theater which is ideal for intimate opera performances.
The Metroplex Opera
Company previously presented the Second Act of the Marriage of
Figaro as a fundraiser, with performances in November 2009 at the Treemont Retirement Community
in North Dallas.
We are now excited to be able to build on that experience to bring
you the entire opera.
