The Forgotten Opera Company presented Kirke Mechem's comic opera Tartuffe in performances at Bethesda Presbyterian Church, on November 24 & 25 and December 1 & 2 at 8:00 p.m. The opera was sung in English, with an original libretto by the composer, based on the play by Moliere.

Here are a few examples of the praise this opera has earned from the press:

San Francisco Chronicle...a brilliant jewel, a delicious hit, right on the mark....The score is inspired, handsomely suited to the purpose and wildly effective at every turn....could be sold out for weeks or months...a masterful accomplishment.

New York Times...a delight...a high spirited farce, full of sparkling word-plays and internal rhymes....
The overall invention and genial good nature of this score remain impressive indeed...recalls “Falstaff.”

Parents are advised not to bring children younger than 16.
