Night at the Grand Opera

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Set in an old European opera house during the golden age of Grand Opera, Night at the Grand Opera is a frenzied romp through a candlelit night at the Opera. Rococo extravagance is fashioned with elaborate cardboard sets that collapse and unfold to reveal the many great dramas of the opera house (not all of which happen on stage.) Love triangles, converging revolutionary plots, metamorphosing flies and disaf ected vermin are brought to life with cardboard and paper-mache.

ABOUT

String and Shadow Puppet Theater is a theater company based in Olympia, Washington. With cardboard, fabric, and paper mache, their visually stunning performances incorporate music, dance, and circus arts to tell original stories that engage the imaginations of their audiences. In the words of an audience member, "String and Shadow's worlds of fantasy and fable pluck at the strings of universal innocence, wonder, and joy." Emerging during the pandemic with Drive-In performances, String and Shadow aims to strengthen communities and provide accessible art, often through donation-based or free events. Since 2023, they have toured regionally and nationally throughout the United States.
