When an enigmatic Shepherd from the East arrives at the Christian court of King Roger, his presence disrupts the court’s established values and view of the world. Do his teachings bring goodness and joy—or destruction and chaos? King Roger himself grapples with questions of self-knowledge, spirituality and his very identity as a monarch and a man.

King Roger

Simpson College

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.

Donizetti's The Elixir of Love

Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theatre

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.

The world’s most popular opera, Puccini’s heartbreaking tragedy never fails to enrapture audiences with its poignant depiction of love and loss in bohemian Paris, all set to one of opera’s most romantic scores. Some of today’s most extraordinary talents inhabit the touchstone principal roles in Franco Zeffirelli’s classic staging, a perennial Met favorite for the past 45 years.

La Bohème

Lincoln Center

Often hailed as the gold standard of opera, Mozart’s masterful portrayal of an extraordinary wedding day marries sparkling wit with profound insights on love, aging, forgiveness, and, ultimately, the joy of coming together. As they prepare to tie the knot, Susanna and Figaro must contend with their amorous employer Count Almaviva; his wife, the Countess; the scheming Marcellina; and a colorful cast of characters who place numerous (and often amusing) obstacles in their path to the altar. Love wins, carried by music of breathtaking beauty, warmth, and humanity.
