In October2021, we announced As Told By: History, Race, and Justice on the Opera Stage, the most extensive and ambitious presentation of opera by Black composers to ever take place in the US. Ulysses Kay’s Frederick Douglass is the second installment of five operas that depict vital figures of Black liberation and thought across 250 years of history.

Experience the timeless magic of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Carousel" in a landmark 80th anniversary production by the Boston Lyric Opera. Directed by the visionary Anne Bogart, this evocative tribute brings to life the beloved American musical, featuring unforgettable songs like "If I Loved You" and "You'll Never Walk Alone." The production is conducted by David Angus, with choreography by Shura Baryshnikov, and showcases an exceptional cast including Brandie Sutton as Julie Jordan, Edward Nelson as Billy Bigelow, Jamie Barton as Nettie Fowler, and Anya Matanovič as Carrie Pipperidge. Based on Ferenc Molnar’s play "Liliom," as adapted by Benjamin F. Glazer, "Carousel" explores themes of love and redemption, capturing the hearts of audiences with its powerful narrative and stirring musical score. The original choreography by Agnes de Mille is honored in this production, adding a layer of historical depth and artistic brilliance. Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, this production promises a rich, immersive experience that celebrates the enduring legacy of one of America's most cherished musicals.
