A celebration of wine,food and song.

Nicolas Joël directs this new production, which stars opera's charismatic real-life duo Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna, in Puccini's gorgeously melodic look at love.

Mark your calendars for our most exciting fundraising concert of the year to be held on April 25 at the Frank Jones Center in Portsmouth. We are holding a Whale of a Concert featuring the Seacoast's legendary superband: Jumbo Circus Peanuts. The Peanuts will rock the house with a great mix of music for dancing, fun and fundraising. The Peanuts have proven to be a Music-by-the-Sea Concert Series favorite and are great supporters of the Center. After the not-so-successful, rainy 2008 season, band members offered to preform at another concert free of charge to help us reach our fundraising goal. SSC Board Member Tom Haas helped us pull all of our plans together by funding the indoor venue; the Frank Jones Center in Portsmouth. All proceeds benefit the Center and our efforts to bring the story of Tofu: the Journey of a Humpback Whale to the Center. So, plan your crazy marine costumes now and join the fun this spring. We'll have no worries about weather and have plenty of space to groove! Details will become available on our web site as they are finalized and published in the next issue of the Sun. Sponsorship and opportunities are available; please contact Wendy at w.lull@seacentr.org or 603-436-8043, ext. 15.
