Really Spicy Opera Returns to the Minnesota Fringe Festival

Really Spicy Opera made its Minnesota debut at the 2014 Minnesota Fringe Festival with a revival of Basil Considine’s hit opera The Frat Party. Then, in 2015,  RSO returned to the Fringe Festival with Leanna Kirchoff’s The Clever Artifice of Harriet and Margaret. Now, Really Spicy Opera returns to the Minnesota Fringe Festival for a third consecutive year with Game of Thrones: The Musical. This new show will appear in a five-show run at the Ritz Theatre in Northeast Minneapolis:

A longstanding Minnesota Fringe tradition is to parody earlier and current shows, hitting source material ranging from literary, theatrical, and film classics to other shows playing in the same festival. Last night, Four Humors selected Really Spicy Opera’s The Clever Artifice of Harriet and Margaret for its nightly show to parody. Read Cherry and Spoon’s review here:
