Sunday, May 4: Lauren Yokabaskas and Sable Strout

Opera in the Pines presents: The Barber of the Cape

Opera in the Pines’ 2025 production reimagines the story of The Barber of Seville, setting it in the most Maine of locations - a lobster pound. Performances of this new adaptation, The Barber of the Cape, run May 16-18 in Cape Neddick. 

General Director Lauren Yokabaskas and Artistic Director Sable Strout join us to discuss their immersive, hyper-local approach to opera and adapting this beloved Rossini opera for this unique setting.

Three performances will take place:

Friday May 16, 7:00 pm
Saturday May 17, 7:00 pm
Sunday May 18, 2:00 pm

Cape Neddick Lobster Pound, 60 Shore Road, Cape Neddick Maine
