Cautionary tale “A Christmas Carol” premieres at Homestake Opera House

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) -With the holiday season approaching, people are ready to celebrate, and Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol is just what the doctor ordered.

The story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his hard heart has endured through time since December 1843.

That’s when Charles Dickens’ novella A Christmas Carol was first published. It has been acted out year after year on stage and on screen.

On Dec. 19, at 2:00 PM the Homestake Opera House will host Flower and Flame performing Charles Dickens Christmas Carol.

Flower and Flame is a group of four principal musicians with the South Dakota Symphony and one actor.

They’ve been evolving since forming in 2002, and their production of “A Christmas Carol” has a unique twist. It’s a mix of music and narration and has become a favorite among theatergoers in recent years.
