They will sing some of Mozart's most lyrical "hits" from the Magic Flute, Cosi Fan Tutti and The Marriage of Figero during the afternoon performance.

"…..the style at West Green House is unbeatable. The barn
was lined with birch from which hung decorative bird houses and feeders.
Natural garlands and swags lined the walls and the tables displayed everything
for the Christmas table. Of course there were fairies and jewels for trees
and gifts for the most demanding gardener………"
