New Brew’s had its Ladies’ Night. That was fun. But with tenor heartthrob Alex Guerrero and barichunk Seth Gilman curating our August extravaganza, we thought it about time to put on a Mannes Show.
You read that right! Our testosterone-laden co-curators are both alumni of the Mannes College of Music. In honor of their alma mater leaving its historic Upper West Side diggs for new facilities downtown, we’re celebrating with a program of Mannes-affiliated composers. It’ll be a diverse offering of students and faculty, composition and theory, piano and guitar. In short, it will be a blast.
And no, there will be no discount drinks for the gentlemen.
Opera on Tap is headquartered in Ditmas Park and we’re finally bringing our free-spirited warbling to our favorite local on Cortelyou Road- Sycamore Bar and Flower Shop!
While you dine on delicious brunch faire c/o Roswell and sip on bloody marys, Opera on Tap’s line-up of professional performers will regale you with some of opera’s greatest hits. Expect love, expect wit, expect death, expect vengefulness, expect every emotion you can think of. It’s opera. With your brunch.

Program:
Opera on Tap Chicago and New World Productions with the support of Main Street Opera are proud to present an evening of Spanish music and theater entitled “Shadows, Stories, and Songs”. The show will feature two one act musical works – an adaptation of Jacinto Guerrero’s zarzuela “The Guest at the Sevillano Inn” and Manuel de Falla’s puppet opera “Master Peter’s Puppet Show”. Both shows will be sung in Spanish with English subtitles provided.
“The Guest at the Sevillano Inn” is a tale inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ novel “La Ilustre Fregona”. When Raquel, the fair daughter of Toledo’s finest swordsmith, Maese Andres, is kidnapped by the disreputable count Don Diego, it is up to the honorable court painter Juan Luis, his affable squire Rodrigo, and the witty kitchen maid Constancica, to rescue her.
“Master Peter’s Puppet Show” is plucked from an episode in Miguel de Cervantes’ famed novel “Don Quixote de la Mancha”. While staying at an inn, Don Quixote watches a puppet show based on the medieval legend of Don Gayferos, a knight in Charlemagne’s court, and the rescue of his wife Melisendra from Moorish captivity. The knight errant soon becomes a bit too invested in the puppet show, culminating in much mayhem and hilarity. The puppet set is designed by shadow theater artist, Myra Su.
There will be some special evenings during our run. In order to make this show as accessible as possible to Chicagoans, we will be having two “pay what you can” nights on Thursday June 30th and on Thursday August 6th.The Thursday opening night on August 13th will be a Kids Night and will include a Q and A with the cast, an interactive shadow puppetry demonstration after the performance and a kit for creating your own shadow puppet stage at home!
