Opera Lecture: The Port Washington Library will present this week, "Afternoon at the Opera: Iolanthe." With music by Sir Arthur Sullivan and lyrics by W.S. Gilbert, a fairy tale ironically becomes a comic satire on the British House of Lords. Iolanthe, a fairy, has had an affair with the Lord Chancellor, and the result is a son, Strephon, who is half fairy and half human. He is presented with a dilemma — what will happen to his fairy half when his human half dies? After many confrontations and complications, Professor James Kolb will inform you of the solution to this conundrum. The event runs Monday at 3 p.m.
Project Independence Holiday Party: Celebrate the warmth of the season at the Town of North Hempstead-sponsored holiday day party on Dec. 18. The Project Independence event runs from 2:30-4:30 p.m. at Clinton G. Martin Park, 1601 Marcus Ave. in New Hyde Park. Call 311 to RSVP.
