SUMMARY:Opera by Local Composer Gets Its First Performances
DESCRIPTION:\n\nSat 6/7 @ 7:30PM\nSun 6/8 @ 3:30PM\n\n\n\nEven if you’re 
 a major opera buff\, changes are good you’ve never heard of The Higgler.
  That’s not surprising. The two-act chamber opera was written in 2017 by
  Cleveland-based composer Margi Griebling-Haigh based on a 1930 short stor
 y by British author A.E. Coppard. Like many of Coppard’s stories\, it’
 s set in rural England\, revolving around an itinerant peddle (“higgler
 ”) and a mother and daughter he encounters on his travels.\n\n\n\n\nWhil
 e parts of it have been performed previously\, the full opera will be gett
 ing its premiere performance this weekends at Disciplines Christian Church
  in Cleveland Heights. It’s directed by Marla Berg who is the director o
 f the opera program at Kent State University with Brian Skoog in the title
  role\, with a cast that includes with sopranos Gabrielle Haigh and Lisl W
 angermann\, and mezzo sopranos Elizabeth Frey and Denise Milner Howell\, a
 nd children’s roles such by Ava Kimbel and Koen Antal. Joseph Hollings n
 arrates. They’ll be accompanied by chamber orchestra of 16 musicians.\n\
