free of charge and open to the public. This performance is
underwritten by Schenectady Civic Players’ Gwen E. Fraser Memorial
Fund to give back to the community and to excite young people on the
magic of the arts.<br><br>Based on the familiar classic fairy tale The
Three Billy Goats Gruff, Opera Saratoga’s Opera to Go production
presents a charming and humorous anti-bullying story told in operatic
style. Featured are arias, duets, ensembles and choruses from operas
by Mozart, Donizetti, and Rossini. Arrangement is by John Davies who
also did the same for last year’s full-house, heart-warming production
of Pinocchio at the Schenectady Civic Playhouse.<br><br>The Billy
Goats Gruff features a talented cast of young professionals chosen
from hundreds of singers across the country who audition for Opera
Saratoga’s Young Artist Program. They are: soprano Chelsea
Friedlander, baritone Nicholas Wiggins(*), baritone Christopher
Brandon Morales, and tenor Christopher Hodson, accompanied on the
piano by 2014 Opera to Go musical director Valarie Pool.<br><br><font color="#ff3333">A
