Opera Club to screen ‘Evita’

The LW Opera Club kicks off the New Year by showing Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “Evita” in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The first half of the film will be screened on Monday, Jan. 3, and the second half on Tuesday, Jan. 4. Both showings start at 1:30 p.m.

The musical is based on the life of Eva “Evita” Perón, who was born in poverty and had a scandalous past but used her ambition to become the wife of Juan Perón, president of Argentina, and a formidable co-leader of her nation—all before the age of 33. It’s a historical drama with phenomenal music that received multiple awards from entertainment associations for book, score, acting, costumes and decorations.

The production is in English without benefit of subtitles. All attendees are required to wear masks, per GRF guidelines. No dues or fees are collected. For more information, contact President Beverly Emus at (562) 296-5586 or beverly90740@gmail.com.
