The Pick-up Truck Opera Vol. 4, Faust is French Romantic opera and new wave disco beats. It’s a deal with the devil as humanity shoots for the moon. It’s Mixed Precipitation’s 16th annual summer opera extravaganza.

In the not-so-distant future, scientist and entrepreneur Dr. Johann Faust faces a planet in crisis but no motivation to spare humanity its fate. Méphistophélès, a mysterious extraplanar entity with a devilish charm, appears with a bargain: Relocate Earth’s climate refugees to a lunar colony and win the love of the brilliant physicist Marguerite. The music of Depeche Mode is laced into this tale, featuring the work of songwriters Vince Clarke and Martin Gore.

All performances are offered for a suggested donation ($5 – $45). Free for children under 12. Audiences are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and beverages for comfort and hydration.
