Part of First Fridays at Five.

Pittsfield favorite Opal Raven will be doing fire dancing at Persip Park to kick-off the season of First Fridays at Five.

Opal Raven Cirque is a circus and sideshow performer based in the mountains of Western Massachusetts. She’s known across New England and the Tri-State area for her “Danger Dame of the Flame” variety show. Also known as the Sword Queen of Gypsy Layne, Opal showcases masterful sword spinning, daring prop tricks, and some say she can even speak to snakes. Opal Raven’s one-woman circus is a unique performance that won’t soon be forgotten.
