The ghosts of the murdered will have their revenge.
A young woman has died of unknown natural causes – or so the doctor declares. Her ghost returns and tells her mother that her husband murdered her. Shaken and resolute, her mother embarks on a journey to find out the truth and deliver justice for her daughter.

Everlasting Faint

Love is a game. Everyone change partners.
Two sisters, two suitors, and a drunken wager about the nature of fidelity – what could possibly go wrong? Mozart’s deliciously risqué romantic comedy is full of sublime arias, sparkling ensembles, and the complications that ensue when young love and flirtation encounter reality.

Così fan tutte

Since 2002, Opera in the Park has been the epitome of Madison Opera’s place in our community. Garner Park comes alive with music and light sticks, as soloists share their favorite opera and musical theater numbers, along with the Madison Opera Chorus and Madison Symphony Orchestra.
