Opéra Mystique at The Waterworks
Through two short operas written and performed in English, Opéra Mystique invokes mysticism and the afterlife to explore the idea that people believe what they want to believe.  Gustav Holst’s Sāvitri and Gian Carlo Menotti’s “The Medium” offer poignant glimpses into how people confront and react to death.  Small casts and orchestras will offer uniquely-intimate experiences, both thought-provoking and dramatic. Returning stage director Helena Binder (“Madama Butterfly,” “La Traviata”) leads this production conducted by FCO Artistic Director Curtis Tucker. $40; 2:00 p.m.; 184 San Marco Ave., St. Augustine, FL; firstcoastopera.com/opera-mystique
