Musicians of Ma'alwyck is producing a vaudeville opera called “The Ship's Captain.” They will be offering three performances at three different venues: Hyde Hall near Cooperstown, New York on June 25 at 7:30 p.m.; Freedom Park in Scotia, New York on June 27 at 7 p.m. and the Strand Theater in Hudson Falls, New York on June 28 at 7 p.m.

Two young single women, a curious will left by their uncle guardian, and a mysterious young man figure in this Gilbert and Sullivan-esque plot of the delightful 1817 vaudeville opera “The Ship's Captain.”

Carl August Blum, a popular composer and actor, crafted this clever one act piece using entirely melodies of Mozart, Beethoven and German folksongs. To tell us more, we welcome Director of the Musicians of Ma'alwyck Ann Marie Schwartz, Director of "The Ship's Captain" Byron Nilsson, and Charles Eaton who performs the role of “Waller” in “The Ship’s Captain.”
