‘All the World’s a Stage: The Show-within-a-Show in Broadway and Opera’, a benefit for the Fairview Elementary School’s literacy and Artful Learning programs@ Fairview United Methodist Church, 600 W 6th St.

Baritone Richard Lewis and friends plunge you into a backstage world of overwrought emotion and egos with music by Cy Coleman, Mozart, Offenbach, and Verdi.

Steal behind the scenes in our seventh annual free summer concert! Soprano Anna Singer, mezzo-soprano Hilerie Klein Rensi, tenor Robert Chafin, baritone Richard Lewis, and pianist Michael Borowitz perform scenes by Cy Coleman, Mozart, Offenbach, and Verdi about the backstage world of overwrought emotion and giant egos. Take a ringside seat for battles of wills and wits between producer and star, a poet and his lost loves, and more in scenes from Pagliacci, La Forza del Destino, The Tales of Hoffmann, and others.

Free-will donations accepted at the concert will directly benefit Fairview Elementary School’s literacy and Artful Learning programs. This program supported in part by Solution Tree and the City of Bloomington Arts Commission’s Arts Project Grant Program. On Facebook: “All the World’s a Stage”.
