Fresco Opera Theatre stages a mash-up of "Star Wars" and Handel's "Rinaldo" to brilliant effect.

Friday, June 5, Overture Center Playhouse, 8 pm

The Fresco Opera Theatre’s most ambitious production to date, Rinaldo and the Galactic Crusades takes Handel’s classic story of love and battle to infinity and beyond. Set in a universe of laser wars and aliens, the opera will merge classic with contemporary in a unique theatrical experience for all ages. ALSO: Saturday (8 pm) and Sunday (2 pm), June 6-7.
