The Hellgate Harmonie, an adventurous and gutsy local performance group, used its citing as one of the 2007 Park Slope 100, to advertise a coming show at the Brooklyn Lyceum.

Cool.

They will be performing Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana in English at the Brooklyn Lyceum on
March 8, 15, 16, and 22, starting at 3:30pm.

I love the sense of risk that they bring to everything they do:

A great opportunity for kids to experience grand opera up close. 40 piece
orchestra, chorus, great voices, fantastic music and drama.

Not
sure if we’re going to pull this one off – a huge and intense score,
lots of instruments, unfamiliar conductors…should be interesting
(think: NASCAR pile ups, smell of burnt rubber, exploding bassoons)
