Tonight the Seagle Music Colony premieres Mozart’s Cosi fan tutti. This production, set in Hollywood’s Silent movie era, is full of “high jinx comedy”, with some of Mozart’s most beautiful operatic pieces.

The title, Così fan tutte, literally means "Thus do all [women]" but it is often rendered as "Women are like that".  Hhhmm.

Seagle Music Colony. Charley Hill Road. Four nights only! July 13 – 16. 8pm. 518-532-7875

At least 20,000 people, folks from all over the North Country, the US and the world -- we hear there are several Aussies vacationing here this year – are expected for Monday’s July 4th Parade.

Organizer Kate Huston says this year’s parade, in the planning stages since last year’s ended, will feature a lot of music.

"I’m really pleased that we have so much music in the parade and in the day’s activities," Kate told Schroon Laker.

And if you want one of the best seats in the house, get there early. We hear folks starting placing their folding chairs along the route in downtown early in the morning.
