"The Cypress Grove." Mozart wasn't too concerned with context when he wrote "The Magic Flute." One simply suspends disbelief. To the rescue comes Marshall Griffith, a composer at the Cleveland Institute of Music, whose newly written opera "The Cypress Grove" supplies an imaginary back story. CIM presents the one-act work in a lunchtime performance featuring recent graduates and guest singers. Noon. Free. CIM, 11021 East Blvd, Cleveland. 216-795-5000, cim.edu.
