A Great Opera-a-tunity!

The people at Children’s Dance Theater Connection have been kind enough to offer Southington Library parents the opportunity to expose their children to the wonderful worlds of opera and dance.  The Connecticut Lyric Opera, with musical accompaniment by the Connecticut Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra, will present the opera Dido and Aeneas on Friday February 22, 2008 at 7:00PM.  On this special night children registering through the Children’s Department of the Southington Library will get into the opera FREE!  Parent tickets will be offered at the reduced rate of $10.  The performance will be held at the Trinity on Main Arts Center in New Britain and free garage parking will be available.  This is a terrific oper-a-tunity to expose your children to something different.  For more information, please contact the Children’s Department at 628-0947 X3.
