"Les Uncomfortables"

Lyric Opera of North presents "Les Uncomfortables." It's the opera that started it all. Originally mounted as a 2001 production by Colder by the Lake Comedy Theater, it spurred a local interest in opera and the birth of Lyric Opera of North. Fifteen years later, "Les Uncomfortables" is back. The updated version is funnier than ever and features world-class (but still all local) talent. "Les Uncomfortables" by Tyler Kaiser, Jean Sramek and Margi Preus, in collaboration with Colder By The Lake, broke new ground (and a few portages) in the regional opera scene. For tickets, call the box office, 218-464-0922. Student tickets are $10. Performances are Thursday and Friday, June 23 & 24 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, June 26, at 2 p.m. Also, catch a glimpse of "Les Uncomfortables" at the Homegrown Festival, Saturday, May 7, at Sacred Heart Music Center at 4:45 p.m. For more information, go online at www.loonopera.org.
