QUILCENE — “Night at the Grand Opera,” a production of the Olympia-based String and Shadow Puppet Theater, will be onstage at 6:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Quilcene Lantern, 7360 Center Road, Quilcene.
Tickets are $30 per person, $15 for children. Those small enough to sit on an adult’s lap will be admitted for free.
The play will be performed inside, but the barn is unheated and uninsulated so warm clothing is recommended.
“Night at the Grand Opera” is set in an old European opera house during the golden age of Grand Opera. It is a frenzied romp through a candlelit night at the theater.
Elaborate cardboard sets create a Rococo extravagance that collapses and unfolds to reveal the many great dramas of the opera house, not all of which happen on stage.
The story includes love triangles, revolutionary plots, art-loving flies and disaffected vermin brought to life with cardboard and paper mache.
