Opera Theatre presents Offenbach’s “The Lantern Marriage” and Menotti’s “The Old Maid and the Thief”

Join the UNCG Opera Theatre for an evening of light-hearted romance and comedy, as we present two short one acts: Offenbach’s The Lantern Marriage and Menotti’s The Old Maid and the Thief.  In Offenbach’s charming operetta, our hero finds his treasure, disappointing the hopes of the two widows who had their sights set on making him their new husband.  The Old Maid and the Thief narrative parallels The Lantern Marriage as two single women (Miss Todd and Miss Pinkerton) attempt to win the affections of Bob, who ends up finding his love in their maid, Laetitia.
