Now for the drama lovers out there – this weekend is your chance to see Handel’s baroque masterpiece “Alcina.” In this opera, Alcina is a malicious sorceress who lives on an island, tricking men into falling in love with her and then turning them into animals or inanimate objects when she gets bored.

Find out on Friday or Sunday at the CAPA theatre.
