This edition of Opera Workshop is all about love…and murder as seen through the eyes of our musical geniuses through the years.  From Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story to John Kander’s Chicago, this year’s production will prove to be nothing but fun and laughter through the mayhem of tyranny and tender affection. The workshop will take us on a journey to see how these two seemingly opposing forces are actually often felt in the same moment. Just remember, all is fair in love and war!
