**On Sunday, April 19th, join me for A Night in Venice - Johann Strauss, performed by the Toronto Operetta Theatre, and commissioned by** t**he Toronto Symphony Orchestra, in association with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, TO Live, and the National Arts Centre’s National Creation Fund.** Set in “the most beautiful city in the world, this sparkling operetta by “Waltz King” Johann Strauss II unfolds during Carnival, where disguises, romance, and waltzes come to life along the city’s iconic canals. The story follows the flirtatious Duke, his scheming barber, and a cascade of mistaken identities involving senators, cooks, and cabaret singers. Amid gondolas, masked balls, and romantic entanglements, chaos unfolds as characters swap roles to pursue love or ambition. With Strauss’s sparkling waltzes and comedic twists, the operetta celebrates charm, deception, and the joy of revelry.

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
