So many people to thank for our amazing production this July! Let's start with Opera Mariposa - without them, there would have been no show! Thanks to their support, this cast of (mostly) students could benefit from the opportunity to sing, and to sing alongside some amazing young artists - and with the help of Mariposa's sets, costumes, and amazing organizational skills, too! Lots of love!
