Want to see the Capri Theater in action? Time your visit to see a film and live music double feature on May 9 at 3pm. This event pairs Saint-Saëns’ humorous Carnival of the Animals with Georges Méliès’ iconic 1902 silent film, A Trip to the Moon, featuring a live ensemble, narration by MPR’s Michael Barone, and a new score by Christa Rübsam. Enhanced by dazzling lights and projections, this multi-sensory experience is open to all ages with tickets starting at $5.72. Learn more HERE.
