CHEAP THRILLS
Holiday music, Fenway open studios
By Milva Didomizo, Globe Staff, 11/29/2001
A Lakota Indian folktale is the basis for Charles Shadle's one-act opera, "Coyote's Dinner." The satiric farce is a play within a play, in which Coyote is outwitted by his wife's friend, and members of the audience, including an anthropologist and a fundamentalist missionary, respond. Seven vocalists join the MIT Wind Ensemble for the premiere. 8 p.m. Friday at Kresge Auditorium, 48 Mass. Ave., Cambridge. Pre-concert talk with the composer and librettist at 7:15 p.m. $3. 617-253-4006.
