Escape on a wild ride through the streets of Seville, where schemes unfurl, passions flare, and chaos occasionally reigns. Figaro, the mischievous barber, is at the center of it all, pulling strings and outwitting anyone who thwarts his plans to help Count Almaviva win Rosina’s heart. From fiery verbal duels to hilarious deceptions, The Barber of Seville is a spirited romp starring Rossini’s lively score and iconic arias.

Internationally acclaimed director Stephen Lawless leads Opera Omaha favorite Alexander Birch Elliott (Eugene Onegin, Così fan tutte) as Figaro, celebrated mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack (Ainadamar, Metropolitan Opera) in her Opera Omaha debut as Rosina, and rising star Minghao Liu as Count Almaviva.

The Barber of Seville

Orpheum Theater

In this gripping rendition of Bizet’s iconic opera, set against the backdrop of Franco’s Spain in 1937, Carmen emerges not only as a femme fatale but also as a courageous freedom fighter, defying authority at every turn. Carmen’s fiery spirit captivates audiences and reminds us of the consequences of passion unchecked. With its timeless themes of love and betrayal, Carmen remains an electrifying masterpiece.

Looking for a dose of love, laughter, and a little bit of magic? Watch as Nemorino, a lovesick soldier, tries to win the heart of the beautiful Adina—who gently rejects his advances. Seeking some help from the smooth-talking Dr. Dulcamara and his so-called “love potion,” Nemorino stirs up a whole lot of jealousy, mischief, and maybe even a bit of real romance! This bubbly comedy, bursting with effervescent charm (and a splash of citrus inspiration), is the perfect recipe for a fun night out.
