Opera Picnic - "Un ballo in maschera" (A Masked Ball)

Sunday July 12th 6:30pm Start - 5:30p Gates Open
 

Grab your picnic basket and join us for the first Opera Picnic of 2026!
Villa Catalana and Ping & Woof Opera present their version of Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera (A Masked Ball)

Synopsis:
Un ballo in maschera is based on the real life assassination of King Gustav III (Riccardo) of Sweden in 1792. Riccardo is a ruler plagued by his conscience and dedicated to his job, but has a guilty secret: he is in love with his closest friend Renato’s wife, Amelia. What’s more, he has enemies, and there is a murderous conspiracy brewing. Through visiting the fortune-teller Ulrica in disguise, Riccardo learns that Amelia loves him too, but also that the man who next shakes his hand (who turns out to be Renato) will be his killer. He follows Amelia later that night, and both confess their love, but Renato arrives and jumps to the conclusion that his best friend and his wife have been having an affair. He vows revenge and joins the plot to assassinate the king…

Opera Picnic - "Don Giovanni"

Sunday August 30th 5:30pm Start - 4:30pm Gates Open
 

Grab your picnic basket and join us on an August summer evening as Ping & Woof Opera present Don Giovanni live in our gardens.

Synopsis:
Based on the story of the libertine "Don Juan", Mozart's enduring masterpiece tells the tale of Don Giovanni, a reckless philanderer who seduces women (more than 1000 according to his carefully detailed catalog) in total disregard for civil and divine authority. But in the wake of a life lived to excess, his day of reckoning finally approaches. Caught in the act of seducing the Commendatore's daughter Donna Anna, Giovanni accidentally kills the Commendatore when he comes to defend his daughter's honor. After more misdeeds and attempted seductions, Giovanni finds himself pursued by those he has wronged. Hiding in a churchyard, he unexpectedly meets the specter of the Commendatore in the form of a statue. Still unabashedly defiant, Giovanni invites the statue to supper, only to discover the irrevocable consequences for his dissolute actions as the statue exacts his revenge.

Cast:
Don Giovanni - Zach Lenox, baritone
Leporello - Stacey Murdock, baritone
Donna Anna - Kari Burgess, soprano
Don Ottavio - Brandon Michael, tenor
Donna Elvira - Jocelyn Claire Thomas, soprano
Zerlina - Katie Wingo, soprano
Masetto / Commendatore - Dan Gibbs, bass
