James Harp, Lyric Opera Baltimore artistic director, gives two lectures that ask: Is Sweeny Todd opera?—or is it Broadway? Good question, but does it matter? Perhaps it depends on who's doing it. In this case, Baltimore Concert Opera presents a concert version of this ever so popular, albeit rather gruesome, story in song, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Hugh Wheeler. Join the BCO for a rollicking good time.
