Fresco Opera returns to Picnic Point for three nights of opera, fire, and mystery on the shores of Lake Mendota. As night falls, the audience gathers around the fire and the story begins.
Opera on the Point: Into The Dark brings opera out of the theater and into the woods, where live music and storytelling unfold beneath the trees. Arias and ensemble pieces become part of a larger story filled with strange encounters, old legends, and creatures that emerge as the darkness closes in.
The woods become the scenery. The fire becomes the light. And the audience becomes part of the story.
Location: Tip of Picnic Point, 2000 University Bay Drive, Madison.
Dates: Thursday, September 24th, Saturday, September 26th, Saturday, October 3rd.
Prepare for a scenic, 0.8-mile easy walk to the fire circle.
Donations: This event is free, with a suggested donation at the event of $10 to help support our mystical production. Pay what you can. Every contribution makes a difference!
Seating: Limited seating available on the stone wall; bringing your own chair is recommended. Note: There are no public restrooms available.
Event Duration: Approximately 50 minutes.
Opera on the Point: Into The Dark is supported by
the Madison Arts Commission and Dane Arts.

Stay close to the fire.
