At once a comic and loving tribute to the legendary song-writing duo, A Grand Night for Singing will have audiences laughing and humming along throughout the evening! Including some of the most beloved songs in Broadway history – highlighting musicals such as Oklahoma, South Pacific, and The Sound of Music – Rodgers and Hammerstein’s creative partnership both dominated and became synonymous with the Golden Age of Broadway.

A Grand Night for Singing

United Presbyterian Church Binghamton

The Fantasticks was originally created in 1960 with music by Harvey Schmidt with book and lyrics by Tom Jones. It tells an allegorical story, loosely based on the 1894 play The Romancers (Les Romanesques), concerning two neighboring parents who trick their children into falling in love by pretending to feud. The original production closed in 2002. In 2022, the revival was an LGBTQIA+ focused rewrite featuring two young gay men, Matt and Lewis, at the center of the story, instead of a young man and woman (the original characters were Matt and Luisa). It remains the longest running musical production worldwide.

Tri Cities Opera

This collection of festive songs will really get people in the holiday spirit, especially with our talented group of resident artists lending their gorgeous voices to beloved holiday classics. The acappella songs will only require a relatively quiet space or an existing sound system with a microphone… no piano or other setup is necessary.

Operation holiday cheer

Join us for an unforgettable night of music as we celebrate the 75th birthday of the legendary composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and mark the grand opening of our sensational 23/24 Tri-Cities Opera season!

Celebrating 75: AN ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER REVUE

The Pocket Opera Project is telling stories with a distinct new voice! Local elementary and middle school students have been selected to have their story submissions transformed into mini-operas — in collaboration with Binghamton University composers.

These incredible “pocket operas” come with big theatrical moments and tell deeply human stories filled with adventure, tragedy, and magic!
