Helios Early Opera - Charpentier's "David et Jonathas" - Unofficial semi-meetup

The Helios Early Opera (http://heliosopera.com/) company just made their debut last night (Thursday) with Charpentier's "David et Jonathas" and are performing it once more tonight. I somehow let this gem slip through the cracks, but I hope some of you can make it last minute!

If you want to do a small meetup, look for me after the performance near the exit holding a meetup sign. However, I'm posting this primarily to let everyone know about the opera as I am eager to support a new local opera company. There isn't much nearby, so given that and the last-minute nature of this meetup there will be no "official" post-performance meetup!

UPDATE: Have arranged with one other member to grab a bite at Bertucci's on 21 Brattle Street following the opera.

An even later addition: please only rsvp yes if you are certain you will be there and please indicate if you want to meetup or not.

If you have any questions, call me (mike) at 408.OPERA.81 (408.673.7281)

Helios Early Opera makes its debut with Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s grand biblical drama David et Jonathas. A tragic love story between the future king of Israel and the doomed Jonathan, son of King Saul, David et Jonathas is one of only two full-length operas by one of the most fascinating composers of the seventeenth century. Full of psychological intensity, Bretonneau’s libretto provides a gripping drama that is highlighted by Charpentier’s dazzlingly innovative and powerful score.
