Final performance of Hector Armienta's Zorro opera by Utah Opera at the Capitol Theatre.
Utah Opera brings Hector Armienta's Zorro to the Capitol Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 18, for its final performance. It's the closing night of the run, so if you've been meaning to catch it and haven't yet, this is the last chance to see it on stage.
The production is an opera version of the Zorro story, with music by Hector Armienta. If you're familiar with the character—the masked swordsman fighting for the oppressed in Spanish California—you've got the general shape of it. Armienta's take puts that story into an operatic setting, so instead of a straight play or a movie, the narrative is carried by the music. It's a full production from Utah Opera, meaning it's a professional company bringing the whole thing to life with a cast, orchestra, and the staging that goes with it.

Since it's the final show, this is the last time the company will be performing this particular run at the Capitol. If you've been following the season, this is the one that wraps it up. It's a Sunday matinee or evening—depending on the time—at the Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City, so it's right in the middle of downtown. If you're into opera, or just into the Zorro story and want to hear it told this way, this is the one to keep on your radar for the weekend. The performance is on Sunday, Oct. 18, at the Capitol Theatre.
