- LA TRAVIATA by Giuseppe Verdi
November 11 - December 2, 2023
Violetta Valery is the most sought-after courtesan in Paris. Only the ardent Alfredo sees through her mask of gaiety to the real woman and her well-disguised suffering. But the love that could save her life is threatened by the demands of Alfredo’s furious father Germont, who insists on a devastating sacrifice to save his own family from disgrace and ruin. Even a heart of gold can shatter under such a strain. From the defiant coloratura flights of “Sempre libera” to the sobbing violins of “Addio del passato,” Alexander Dumas fils’ semi-autobiographical story and Giuseppe Verdi’s timeless score will alternately lift your spirits and break your heart.
I PAGLIACCI by Ruggero Leoncavallo
January 27 - February 10, 2024
His beautiful wife Nedda longs to be free of his clumsy embraces, of her life as a traveling actor, and from the advances of the vile Tonio. When Canio catches her with her lover Silvio, only the start of the troupe’s performance can stay his hand … but not for long. Leoncavallo’s gritty and gorgeous score, based on a true incident witnessed by his policeman father, culminates in one of the most famous and tragic tenor arias of all time: “Vesti la giubba”, the original “Tears of a Clown.”
LA BOHÈME by Giacomo Puccini
April 6 - May 4, 2023
Rodolfo loves Mimi, Marcello loves Musetta, Colline loves philosophy, Schaunard loves music, and they all love their eccentric Bohemian life in the garrets of Paris’ 19th century Latin Quarter. Starving artists all, this crazy cadre of young friends bear their poverty with laughter and grace, until it devastates them with unspeakable tragedy. With beloved favorites like “Che gelida manina”, “Quando m’en vo”, and “Donde lieta uscire”, Puccini’s divinely romantic score memorably illustrates the joys, struggles, loves, quarrels, triumphs, and tragedies of six friends and lovers as they embody the true vie de bohème.
