Francine Trester: "Keepers of the Light"
A North Shore Opera
​
June 15th 2019
7:30 PM
Nahant Town Hall Stage
334 Nahant Rd.
Nahant, MA 01908
​
The opera itself tells a story of local heroism - an account of Nahant Music Festival founder Donald Wilkinson's father (Donald Wilkinson Sr.) and the five-person crew of the "Can-Do." Recall the blizzard of 1978 - the "Can Do" was a pilot boat that went out into the storm the night of February 6, 1978 to rescue a tanker (the "Global Hope") stranded in Salem Sound. All aboard the "Can-Do" perished, but their heroism was not extinguished. The opera then honors both Don Junior and Senior - two men of distinction, tenacity, and heart.
​
The concert will open with light-hearted songs, arias, and ensembles about the sea from opera to Broadway.

Stage Directed by Joshua Major
Music Direction by Timothy Steele
