Opera Colorado closes the season with Saint-Saëns’s operatic take on the biblical story of Samson and Delilah. Samson, leader of the Hebrews, is a man of super-human strength. He has one true weakness, and it’s the sultry Delilah’s job to discover it and ensure victory for the Philistines. Indulge in a performance of stunning visuals, epic dance, and some of opera’s most gorgeously evocative music culminating in a finale that literally brings the house down.

Samson and Delilah

Denver Performing Arts Complex

An American soldier’s fantasy of Japan, seductive but harmful. A teenaged Japanese girl and a marriage that comes with an escape clause – for him. An all-Japanese and Japanese-American creative team transports Puccini’s tragedy to a fantastical contemporary setting where reality and dreams intersect.

Madame Butterfly

Detroit Opera House

Cincinnati Opera presents Puccini’s heartrending tragedy Madame Butterfly from a bold new point of view. In this groundbreaking new production created by an all-Japanese and Japanese American creative team, Butterfly’s story is transported to a fantastical modern-day realm where reality and dreams intersect. Enter the world of naval officer B.F. Pinkerton, who treats Japan as his playground. He’s taken a nearly thousand-year lease on a house and will marry a young girl named Cio-Cio-San, known as Madame Butterfly. But is it merely a fantasy? For Butterfly, vows are not to be taken lightly. As Pinkerton’s intentions are revealed, Butterfly’s dreams become a tragedy of limitless depths with no going back.

Mezzo-Soprano Alexandra Rodrick will be performing this afternoon for Milena Kitic, who unexpectedly is unable to appear.

Opera returns to Orange County as Parnassus Society presents another spectacular concert featuring internationally-acclaimed opera stars and the Parnassus Chamber Orchestra led by maestro Scott Dunn. Scenes from the greatest of grand operas are strung together to tell one story of devotion and betrayal, including Carmen, Rigoletto, Faust, Don Carlos, Il Trovatore and more. Our star-studded cast includes Grammy Award-winning operatic baritone Nmon Ford, mezzo-soprano Milena Kitic “vocally resplendent,” tenor Bruce Sledge “voluminous and radiant,” and soprano Lynette Tapia “exquisite…vibrant.” This is a concert you don’t want to miss.
