Comedic opera to appear in McPherson

Wichita Grand Opera will present Gaetano Donizetti’s comedic opera “Don Pasquale” on May 17 at the McPherson Opera House.

“As far as is known, this is the first time that a full-scale opera has been presented at the McPherson Opera House, despite its name,” executive director John Holecek said.

The 1843 Italian opera has been translated into English and adapted to be set in contemporary Wichita.

Tickets are available at the McPherson Opera House, by calling (620) 241-1952, or online at http://mcphersonoperahouse.org.
