Surflight Theatre will host Pennsylvania’s Center Stage Opera Company at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18.

The Center Stage Opera, based in Harrisburg, Pa., has visited Surflight many times before and has developed an enthusiastic Southern Ocean County audience base by performing works such as Verdi’s “Aida” and “La Traviata,” Bizet’s “Carmen” (twice), Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville,” and, last year, Giacomo Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly.” This year Center Stage will double down on Puccini, performing his “La Boheme.”

The opera was composed between 1893 and 1895 but it was set in Paris around 1830.
