Maryland Opera

Our newest initiative brings fresh operatic works to the Maryland Opera stage. The evening features a double bill of works by up and coming composers as well as a pre-show introduction to these stories and a post-show Q&A with the composers.  We are thrilled to work with these talented creators to bring something brand new to our stage.  More details to come!

New Voices in Opera

This melodious and iconic opera is so beloved and integral to us, from the opening atmospheric choral triads of Butterfly's entrance to the profoundly moving dénouement, the epitome of operatic tragedy.  Butterfly reaches into our inmost souls and shows us so many things about ourselves and our society.

The event features arts & crafts, an instrument petting zoo, the puppet performers of the MO Outreach program, cookies and cocoa, and a children's opera version of Hansel and Gretel.  There might even be a surprise guest!
