The bus departs at 10:00 am for a trip to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum to see the exhibit: Drawing the Curtain: Maurice Sendak’s Designs for Opera and Ballet. Drawing the Curtain: Maurice Sendak’s Designs for Opera and Ballet features more than one hundred enchanting illustrations, detailed dioramas, and clever costumes — all in Sendak’s signature style — created for stage productions of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Prokofiev’s Love for Three Oranges, Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, and his own Where the Wild Things Are. This exhibition is suited for all audiences, young and old, and welcomes wild things and ferocious beasts; kings, queens, and nobles; mischievous children; and lovable characters of every kind. Approximate return: 1:00 pm. Fee: $38 for transportation and admission. Sign up at the Front Desk under “Trips.” Please indicate if you have membership to the museum. Museum members will be responsible for arranging for their own tickets.
