Director

Step into the passionate world of Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana, where love, betrayal, and honor converge in an operatic masterpiece. The young man Turiddu abandons Santuzza, who is deeply in love with him, and in his pursuit of the married Lola, ends up being killed in a duel with her husband, Alfio. With its rich melodies and gripping narrative, the opera will sweep you away with its soaring arias and poignant melodies that bring to life the emotions and entangled relationships of a Sicilian village.

Festival Orchestra: Mozart’s The Magic Flute

Walk Festival Hall

Be seduced by Mozart’s classic masterpiece, Don Giovanni, a tale about a serial womanizer who cares for nothing but fulfilling his own desires. This opera will sweep you away with its fine balance of comedy and tragedy, showing us the road to hell is paved with bad intentions. Will Don Giovanni stop playing fast and loose, or will he follow his passion to a fiery demise?

Don Giovanni

Denver Performing Arts Complex

An American serviceman takes a temporary house and wife in Japan, only to trade both for “real” versions back home. Experience Puccini’s tragedy of unequal love in a beautifully-staged production that will completely transform Walk Festival Hall and continue the exciting new operatic tradition at GTMF.

Festival Orchestra: Madame Butterfly in Concert

The Tales of Hoffmann (Les Contes d'Hoffmann) is a haunting opera that dives into the stormy, occasionally uncanny, love life of poet Hoffmann. In a series of flashbacks (and perhaps a bit too much wine), Hoffmann recounts three romantic escapades, each with its own fantastical twist—and each disastrously interrupted by a shadowy villain determined to ruin his good time. The opera is a blend of romance, heartbreak, and just the right dose of the surreal, proving that in Hoffmann’s world, if something seems too good to be true, it probably involves an evil doppelgänger or a mechanical doll.
