SUMMARY:St. Paul - Summer on the Lawn: Pickup Truck Opera
DESCRIPTION:What better way to spend a summer evening than listening to great music and finding creative inspiration? Join MHC\, Mixed Precipitation\, and fellow participants for the Pickup Truck Opera’s presentation of “The Tales of Hoffmann.” Future meets past in the wild adventures of a traveling poet who encounters ghosts\, robots\, magicians\, and shape-shifting demons in pursuit of love and art!
