What is opera?
Opera is drama or comedy told in music through powerful, unamplified voices. Opera combines all the art forms – vocal and instrumental music, theater, drama, visual art and often dance – into one complete theatrical experience. When successfully produced, an opera’s directing, singing, acting, stage setting, lighting, conducting and orchestral playing will create an unforgettable spectacle that can move audiences to tears or elation – or both.
Tickets are $19, $27, $42. ALL STUDENT/TEACHER TICKETS ARE $10.
(a reception is included with the $42 ticket)
