Bizet’s sizzling epic of dark passion, Carmen, tells the story of a fierce woman who lives life on her own terms – and the men who can’t let her go. Don José, a soldier drawn into her orbit, abandons everything for Carmen’s love, only to find himself consumed by jealousy when her attentions shift to the dashing bullfighter, Escamillo. With its twisting tale of romance, deceit, and disaster set to magnetic melodies, Bizet’s masterpiece, Carmen, has become one of the world’s most popular operas. Featuring some of the most popular music to ever grace the opera stage, Carmen brings every aspect of Bizet’s thrilling tale to life, from its tantalizing beginning to its devastating climax. Under the baton of Adam Turner (Toledo Opera’s Il Trovatore, and Roméo & Juliet), Toledo Opera’s vibrant original production is not to be missed.

Showcase Series: The Music of Tom Cipullo

She lives fast, loves freely, and throws a better party than anyone in Paris. But beneath the champagne and charm, Violetta knows her days in the spotlight won’t last forever. When she dares to trade pleasure for true love, society—and Alfredo’s very proper family—are quick to remind her just how unforgiving Paris can be.

Verdi’s La Traviata is all romance, sacrifice, and a story where “happily ever after” takes a hard pass.

Welcome to the Buoso ranch, Texas, where the patriarch has just died and everyone suddenly has very strong opinions about his will.

Enter Gianni Schicchi, whose clever plan might save the day or blow it all up.
