Ash Lawn Opera is in the middle of an exciting 2008 season featuring two shows: the tragic and stormy tale of Bizet’s Carmen and the delightfully witty story of Lerner & Loewe’s My Fair Lady. The Festival will also present two evenings of the world’s best loved music in its Music at Twilight Series.
All performances are sung in English in the Boxwood Gardens of Ash Lawn-Highland. The best thing about Ash Lawn shows is you can picnic before everything starts. If you already knew about Veritas Ash Lawn has a very classy, intimate atmosphere for your picnicking love. It’s a great family and date destination. If you are worried about what to bring, head over to Feast for your picnic basket. You won’t be disappointed.
Let us know if you’ve been! Also, to let everyone know, this may be the last year for the summer series at Ash Lawn, so make sure you get there before they end the outdoor experience.
Upcoming Shows:
July 18 - Mozart & More, a night of arias, duets and ensembles from some of the world’s finest classical composers.

This is our second installment of the FIND ME HERE posts. For those who may not know how this works, essentially what we’re doing is allowing YOU, the local artist, to tell our readers about your upcoming event(s) taking place in and around Charlottesville this week. So whether you’re a visual artist, an actor on a stage, or the bass player in a punk rock band, if you’ve got a gallery showing, a theater performance, or a gig at a local venue drop an announcement in our comments section and let us know where we can FIND YOU.
