Twins Daily, Scandal & Opera? Join Us Wednesday!

Operas are often larger-than-life stories of mystery, scandal, greed, and triumph over adversity, so there’s no question the Black Sox Scandal of 1919 is a tale of major-league, operatic proportions. So Minnesota opera is unveiling a world premiere of The Fix, recounting the tragedy of baseball’s greatest scandal ever.

Bonnes will moderate a panel discussion, featuring composer Joel Puckett, stage director Eric Simonson, baseball historian Stew Thornley, and Star Tribune’s digital sports editor Howard Sinker. We’ll look back at this unique moment in history and consider the intersection of sports and opera. You'll not only learn all about the scandal, but its various interpretations, and even how operas are made.

Doors open at 6:30 PM, with the program starting about 7:00 and lasting approximately 90 minutes. Tickets are just $10! To purchase tickets, click below or call MN Opera Patron Services at 612-333-6669, M-F, 10am-5pm. More details are here.
