Baldwin Wallace Conservatory Opera Presents Speed Dating Tonight

The award-winning Baldwin Wallace Conservatory Opera and the Cleveland Museum of Art present the Cleveland premiere of composer Michael Ching’s hilarious one-act opera, Speed Dating Tonight! Perfect for Valentine’s Day weekend, this comic opera in English explores the emotional roller coaster of finding that special someone. Excitement is in the air as Kaylee, the speed dating coordinator, and Joe, the bartender, prepare for the arrival of speed daters in search of their perfect match. The opera is made up of a series of five-minute “dates” that give us a glimpse into the lives, loves, passions, quirks, and fantasies of the colorful cast of characters. Each time Kaylee rings the bell, the daters switch tables for a new round of discovery in hopes of making a special connection. Ching’s tuneful original score features some parodies of famous operatic melodies, and, as a special treat, this all-new production includes two “dates” composed by Ching especially for the Cleveland premiere. Be sure to purchase tickets to your desired showtime. Performances take place at the following times: Friday, February 14, 7:00 p.m. Saturday, February 15, 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. Sunday, February 16, 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. The views expressed by performers during this event are their own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Cleveland Museum of Art. ✨Calling all foodies + fierce supporters of women-owned / women-led Cleveland businesses!✨
