Two performances: Saturday and Sunday, March 18 and 19 - 3 p.m.

Ari Pelto, conductor | Scott Gilmore, music director | Andrew Eggert, stage director | Hope Goldman, choreographer

This spring, CCPA Opera is proud to present Maurice Ravel’s L’enfant et les sortilèges (The Bewitched Child). The great French writer Colette’s enchanting libretto fired Ravel’s unique musical imagination to create one of his masterpieces. A disobedient child is transformed when the things he has destroyed magically come to life in order to teach him a lesson. Performed by the entire graduate class of CCPA voice majors with members of the CCPA Symphony Orchestra, this production will be presented in the Studebaker Theater in Chicago’s historic Fine Arts Building. This performance will be repeated on Sunday, March 19 at 3 p.m.

Thess performances are free and open to the public. Tickets are not required; seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
