Chorus Director

At first, it might seem like a touring comedy troupe in Sicily are living a life as lighthearted as their performances, but it quickly becomes apparent that they’re trapped in a real-life tragedy. With love triangles, secret romances, and one of the most iconic (and devastatingly emotional) arias of all time, Pagliacci encapsulates the height of drama.

Leoncavallo's Pagliacci

Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theatre

This enchanting opera follows the adventures of the courageous siblings Hansel and Gretel as they navigate the treacherous forest and confront the powerful forces that threaten to engulf them. As Hansel and Gretel strive to outwit The Witch and find their way home, their bond of sibling love serves as a powerful force against the darkness that surrounds them.

Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel

The rhythmic power of Orff’s Carmina Burana is unstoppable. With its massive orchestral forces and exhilarating chorus, this cantata celebrates the wheel of fortune in all its glorious ups and downs. “O Fortuna”? You know it. And it’s going to blow you away.
