Music for the Ages

Oct. 22, 2022

Traverse City’s City Opera House has performances for the young, old, and young at heart on the calendar this week. First up, on Tuesday, Oct. 25, is a Neil Diamond legacy concert, a live show focused not on imitation but celebration of the generation-spanning musician’s career. (Who can resist singing along to “Sweet Caroline”?) The show kicks off at 7pm, and tickets are $30 ($25 for students and seniors 62+). Just a few days later, one of the biggest literary hits of the century takes the stage with The Lightning Thief, a musical based on the bestselling Percy Jackson books written by Rick Riordan. Riddles, Greek gods, and plenty of catchy tunes will have young readers and long-time fans alike entertained. Catch the show on Saturday, Oct. 29, at 1:30pm. General admission tickets are $10. For more information on both shows, head to cityoperahouse.org.
