Come back to the outdoor Museum in the cool of the evening when the spotlights caste an eerie glow on the outdoor sculptures and the pea cock and pea hens roost in the exotic trees.

According to the calendar blurb: Opera New Jersey present a family-friendly Musical Theatre concert. Singers from ONJ’s Summer Season will perform an evening of songs and ensembles from some of Broadway’s beloved gems.

Highlights include selections from: West Side Story, Carnival, Follies, Street Scene, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and many more. This concert is presented as part of PHS’s ENCORE Opera program whose goal is to take lively vocal repertoire throughout New Jersey that will engage audiences of all ages, enrich their lives, and contribute to cultural development.

Please leave a space in your busy Summer calendar for this evening and join me.

    • “ Thanks Glen. The voices were powerful and stirred my bones. ”
    • “ Another great MeetUp evening with at least two other MeetUp groups in attendance. As for the singers, they were great. I’m impressed at how a person can train his or her voice, stand alone and belt out a song for all to hear. And I had second thoughts about public speaking! My favorite performances were “I’ve Come to Wife it Wealthily in Padua” from “Kiss Me Kate” - “Oh What a Beautiful Morning” from “Oklahoma” – “Some Enchanted Evening” from “South Pacific.” For a good taste of Opera, we heard “Glitter and be Gay” from “Candide” The show ended with “Ice Cream Sextet” from “Street Scene,” my favorite subject. Afterwards, I should have walked through the Grounds to Rats with the other MeetUp group, maybe next year. Please enjoy the rest of the Summer. ”
