Enjoy Mascagni's L'amico Fritz in an intimate concert setting with Baltimore Concert Opera at the Garrett Jacobs Mansion of the Engineers Club. Fans of Cavalleria Rusticana will surely enjoy this lesser-known opera by its composer Pietro Mascagni, a love story with a happier ending than its better-known sibling! Fritz, a wealthy landowner and sworn bachelor, has agreed to provide the dowry for a young couple despite his disdain for marriage. His friend, the rabbi David, argues with Fritz about marriage, and the two make a bet regarding whether or not Fritz himself will marry. Enter Suzel, the daughter of one of Fritz's tenants. Despite his commitment to bachelorhood, Fritz grows to be concerned that he may lose his bet after all. But will Fritz reveal his feelings to Suzel before she is wed to another? Performances are Friday, November 9th, at 7:30pm and Sunday, November 11th, at 3pm. Join us for a pre-show lecture thirty minutes before each performance.
