Idomeneo

Set sail on an epic operatic adventure as the Florentine Opera presents Mozart’s first major opera. Idomeneo, a powerful Cretan king, makes an ill-fated pact with Neptune, the god of the sea, and is confronted with unforeseen consequences as life-and-death drama gives way to the triumph of love. Sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage. For tickets and information call (414) 291-5200 ext 224 or go online.

Sassy Mamas

Cougars are back with a vengeance! This play takes a look at the propulsive relationships of “mature” women and younger men. This colorful journey is told through the eyes of three women of substance, who weave an entertaining web of antics that will have you screaming with laughter. These contemptuous women who “know what they want and how to get it,” own the cougar prodigy with their young, desirable, “boy toys” in town. Take caution with this new romantic comedy and sit back, relax, but keep your seat belts fastened, as this promises to be an unforgettable ride. To order tickets, call (414) 273-7206.
