The Merola Opera Program offered Dominick Argento’s durable 1971 Postcard from Morocco a couple of years ago; the quirky, interesting work returns this week, courtesy of San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

In a coproduction with Portland Opera, Kevin Newbury directs the "whimsical look at life’s journey" at the Conservatory Concert Hall on April 10-13.

Curt Pajer is music director, singers are doublecast between Leah Golub/Molly Wilson, Laura Arthur/Crystal Kim, Ellen Presley/Anneka Quellhorst, Mason Neipp/Sidney Ragland, Woojeong Lee/(Adler Fellow) A.J. Glueckert, Daniel Cameron/Reid Delahunt, and Chris Filipowicz/Sergey Khalikulov.
