Celebrate Opera! A Spectacular Birthday Concert

The Long Center for the Performing Arts

Sidekick Leporello follows the notorious and unapologetic nobleman Don Giovanni (yes, that Don Juan) as he waltzes through life with a scandalous checklist: seduction, deception, and, naturally, leaving a trail of broken hearts and vengeful fiancés. Despite plenty of red flags (and, let’s be honest, a few angry mobs), he shrugs off every warning like yesterday’s conquest. No lesson learned, no apologies offered—until fate shows up, ready to dish out a final, fiery “we need to talk.”

Don Giovanni

Marcus Performing Arts Center

Everyone’s favorite barber has a new assignment: to ensure happily-ever-after for a nobleman and a young woman trying to outwit her guardian. Featuring multiple disguises, secret missives, and a bit of ingenuity, Rossini’s sparkling comedy is one of the best-loved works in opera.

The Barber of Seville

Overture Center for the Arts

Arguably the sexiest role in opera, Carmen is a beautiful, free-spirited woman all too aware of her carnal allure, and yet, she despises any man who falls for her. When her mild flirtation with a soldier, Don José, ignites his flaming desire, Carmen rejects him for the famous bullfighter, Escamillo. José’s childhood sweetheart, Micaëla, visits on the pretext of persuading him to return home to his elderly mother, but she arrives just too late. José only has eyes for Carmen. His fate—and Carmen’s—has already been sealed. As José’s love degenerates into morbid obsession, Carmen must soon face the consequences of her need for freedom.

The world’s most beloved opera graces the Opera Omaha stage. For centuries Puccini’s shivering artists have moved hearts with their bohemian ideals and singular hope. In a winter of poverty, Mimi and Rodolfo’s love ignites a contagious warmth until a heartbreaking reality tears them apart.
