An audience favorite for over a century, this tale of four young Parisians who dedicate their lives to art and love is guaranteed to touch your heart. Puccini’s lush, romantic score perfectly captures the simple joys and heartbreaking sorrows of the idealistic young. Their camaraderie, conviction, and passions, masterfully conveyed by an iconic score, make La Bohème easy to love—and impossible to forget.

Would you kill for love?

Dive into a world of betrayal, jealousy, and murder, with our reimagined take on Leoncavallo’s classic opera, Pagliacci.

On Site Opera continues its multi-year cycle of Puccini’s Il Trittico one acts with the brooding Il Tabarro (The Cloak). Puccini and Adami’s drama of a love triangle that turns deadly on the banks of the Seine river will be transported to the historic waterfront of the South Street Seaport. The lightship Ambrose at the South Street Seaport Museum and Pier 16 will provide the backdrop for this story of jealousy and suspicion. 
After the success of What Lies Beneath aboard the tall ship Wavertree in 2021, On Site Opera is thrilled to once again partner with the South Street Seaport Museum to bring opera to life aboard this historic fleet.

Tan Dun’s Buddha Passion is the first of its kind in a centuries-old tradition: a passion not inspired by a Christian narrative, but rather, a Buddhist one. Stirred by the city of Dunhuang and its ancient caves, Tan Dun created a powerful score that weaves chants, stories and sounds into a breathtaking vocal masterpiece, capturing the Buddha’s teachings and timeless concepts of love, forgiveness, sacrifice and salvation.
