Utopia, Limited

This is a comic opera presented at the Manzana de las Luces (Perú 272, CABA), every  Saturday evening up to November 24th. People who love music, acting and interesting plots, will enjoy opera in a crazy proposal. Despite the fact that it has Spanish subtitles, if you ask me, it would be advisable for students of English to read about the  plot and check specific vocabulary before the performance (to understand without reading the subtitles!). I have no doubts this is an interesting and amusing experience. I celebrate the commitment and creativity of “Lirica Lado B”, the lyric theatre company in charge of this great opera.
