Wilmington Concert Opera will present the world premiere of “Girondines,” a two-act ensemble chamber opera for six women, and scored for piano, violin, cello, and electronics. Composer Sarah Van Sciver set the libretto by WCO's co-founder and artistic director, Kirsten C. Kunkle.

Scandals explode, laughter erupts in response to a brilliant book by Hugh Wheeler, while the glorious music of Stephen Sondheim soars in Morrisville's Heritage Center Theatre weekends through May 6 as ActorsNET presents A Little Night Music.
