Building on an eleven year tradition of presenting
the most talented young opera singers this year's
Palm Springs Opera Guild's production of Opera in
the Park, will be another crowd pleaser. The 12th
annual Opera in the Park will spotlight the
Southwest's brightest up and coming opera star
in what is sure to be one of the top collections
of performers to ever grace the stage of this
FREE public event.

Opera in the Park, Sunday, March 28 from noon
to 5:00pm will be a day-long concert of arias
which will be held at Sunrise Park in the City
of Palm Springs located on Sunrise Way
between Ramon Road and Baristo Road.
Shuttles will be provided from designated
parking lots, but public transportation
and car pooling is strongly encouraged
as this event draws a capacity crowd.

"Co-sponsored by the City of Palm Springs,
Opera in the Park is one of the premiere
public events in the Coachella Valley. We
are particularly grateful to all of our
generous sponsors and in-kind supporters.
Under the skillful guidance of our Music
Director, Mona Lands, I feel that our
level of performers has been elevated to
new heights and I'm certain that our
talented singers will captivate the
audience," said George Klauss, President,
Palm Springs Opera Guild.

This festive day in the park will consist
of food and wine sales (by the bottle or
glass) by Jensen's Finest Foods along with
a variety of other restaurant and food
booths. This year, there will be an
expanded variety of non-profit
organizations, artisans and unique
art vendors along with Opera in the
Park logo t-shirts, hats and sundries.

Furthering the mission, the Palm Springs
Opera Guild provides Opera Outreach
programs to children residing in the
desert. The 2009 outreach presented
musical programs to over 12,000
students from kindergarten to high
school seniors attending schools and
academies throughout the Coachella
Valley.

The main goal is to enrich the lives
of children by providing them access
to opera which in turn will allow them
to find their own musical passion.
