Love burns bright in Puccini’s poignant portrait of friendship and romance among a charming group of impoverished bohemians in nineteenth-century France. The opera that inspired Rent, La bohème is beloved for its soaring melodies, including the famed “Musetta’s Waltz” and “O soave fanciulla,” and bittersweet romance—all held afloat by the infectious spirit of its central artists, who face life’s challenges with humor, resilience, and poetry.

Experience the gripping drama of Bedřich Smetana’s Dalibor, a powerful Czech opera that weaves themes of revenge, love, and fate. Set against a backdrop of medieval intrigue, Dalibor follows its titular tragic hero as he faces a desperate struggle for redemption. With sweeping orchestral music and unforgettable arias, Dalibor captivates with its emotional depth and stirring melodies. Director Jean-Romain Vesperini (Henri VIII) returns to Bard SummerScape to helm this first fully staged American production of a rarely heard masterpiece.

Fisher Center at Bard

Comedic capers and uproarious antics take center stage as Mozart’s classic opera battle of the sexes and the classes returns to NCO.

With hilarious hijinks and a sensational score, the “greatest opera ever written” will have you rolling in the aisles!

The Marriage Of Figaro

Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts

George Frideric Handel’s glorious Messiah is a landmark oratorio, with soaring arias, memorable choruses, and all the elegance traditionally associated with the High Baroque style. This beloved masterpiece is also one of the most enduring messages of hope in the entire choral repertoire. Don’t miss The Symphony’s annual performance at the Lensic—a Santa Fe tradition and a “can’t miss” event of every holiday season. Conducted by Gary Thor Wedow and featuring the full Symphony Orchestra and Chorus with choral direction by Carmen Flórez-Mansi. This year’s brilliant cast of stars include soprano Cadie J. Bryan, mezzo-soprano Gina Perregrino, tenor Aaron Crouch, and bass Kevin Burdette. The run time for our version of Messiah is 2.5 hours with one intermission

Handel's Messiah

Lensic Performing Arts Center

Remember the barber of Seville? Figaro is back — and he’s getting married! But there are complications. His bride-to-be doesn’t want their room too close to their lecherous boss, Count Almaviva, who wants to revive the ancient practice of collecting “noble privileges” on a wedding night. But Figaro has some tricks up his sleeve to teach the Count a lesson.

The Marriage of Figaro

San Diego Civic Theatre

Figaro and Susanna want nothing more than to get married in peace—but their employer Count Almaviva has other plans, and everyone in the household has a secret, a scheme, or a score to settle. A page boy hides in a closet. A letter gets slipped mid-dance. A pin becomes a signal. By nightfall, half the cast is dressed as someone else, and nobody in the garden is quite who they seem.

Mozart's sharpest, funniest score fuels a day of mistaken identities, near-misses, and one very happy (and hilarious) ending.
