Marble City Opera (MCO) has several opportunities coming up to hear some live performances. On Thursday, June 5th and Saturday, June 7th, performances of Leoncavallo's Pagliacci will be presented in Oak Ridge at A.K. Bissell Park and on Saturday, June 6th, Marble City Opera's inaugural Opera in the Park concert will take place in Marble Hall at Lakeshore Park in Knoxville. Admission for Opera in the Park is free. Food trucks will be available at all performances, making for a wonderful family-friendly experience (be sure to bring your own lawn chairs or blankets!).
