Opera Guild back for the season on Monday

The Village Opera Guild will meet Monday, October 4 at 9:30 a.m. in the smaller room at Ouachita at Ponce de Leon Center.
The season opener of the Metropolitan Opera's HD simulcast is October 9 at noon at Tinseltown in Benton. The season opens with Wagner's Das Rheingold.
Members of the guild meet the week before each simulcast performance to acquaint themselves with the opera libretto. The meetings are informal and cater to beginners and experts in opera.
Those viewing a simulcast opera at Tinseltown for the first time might want to bring a sweater of a little blanket to snuggle during the performance. The shows usually run about three hours and the temperatures tend to be on the cool side.
