The Saturday, June 24 performance will continue as scheduled. Our team will continue monitoring the forecast throughout the evening.

CR Opera presents a double feature of Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi and Nassif’s American Gothical.

Imposters and hijinks abound in Puccini’s charming one-act farce Gianni Schicchi (sung in English). After intermission, Robert Lindsey-Nassif’s laugh-filled operatic love letter to one of Iowa’s most famous paintings, American Gothical, takes center stage. Double the opera, double the fun!

Performances: 

  • Thursday – Saturday, June 22 – 24 at 7:30 p.m.

Run time: 1.5 hours, includes an intermission

Admission:

  • Adults – $30
  • Students (under 18) – $15
