Eli Young Band: Strange Hours Tour

First Interstate Center for the Arts

The Italian opera classic as a gripping thriller: The singer Floria Tosca and her lover, the artist Mario Cavaradossi, find themselves in the crosshairs of police violence, political intrigue and deception. For the 125th anniversary of the opera, director José Cortés takes a close look at the well-known material and reveals the depths of human nature.

Tosca: Giacomo Puccini

Fantasio's name says it all. With an overdose of humor, craziness and creative energy, the title character navigates through every situation, no matter how tricky, and turns everything upside down. A wonderful role model for Anna Weber, an expert in musical comedies and their adaptations for the stage. Wherever she directs, tears of laughter and a breath of fresh air are guaranteed. For Wiesbaden, she has unearthed an unknown gem by Jacques Offenbach with "Fantasio" and has woven the premiere cast into her new version with a singer.

Fantasio: Jacques Offenbach

A true band of brothers who play their own instruments, write their own songs, and stay true to their Texas roots, Eli Young Band has always stood out among their country music contemporaries.  

In 2000, Eli founded the band with guitarist James Young, bassist Jon Jones and drummer Chris Thompson at the University of North Texas, steadily building their fanbase, producing hit singles, and cultivating their signature edgy, unique, romantically-charged identity.
