South High School’s music department continues its long-standing tradition, now in its 49th year, of presenting full-scale student-performed operas.

This year’s opera will be The Tales of Hoffmann by Jacques Offenbach. Performances will take place on Friday, April 20, and Saturday, April 21, both evenings at 7:30 p.m., in the school auditorium, 341 Lakeville Road.

The opera will be under the musical direction of Janine Robinson, conducted by Michael Schwartz, and directed by Robert Stivanello.

Performance tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Tickets may be reserved in advance (suggested) by calling (516) 441-4851, or may be purchased at the door. There will be open seating for both performances.
