Garner Park

A gripping tale of passion, betrayal, and duty set in a world on the brink of revolution, Norma tells of a Druid priestess in love with the head of the invading Roman army. When he falls in love with another woman, secrets unravel and loyalties are tested in Bellini’s sweeping drama, set to a score full of profound beauty and electrifying fury.

Norma

Overture Center for the Arts

A Moroccan train station in 1914 becomes a crossroad of dreams in this witty and touching entertainment about strangers, secrets, and stories. Argento’s sparkling score is by turns romantic, mysterious, dramatic, and delightfully unhinged in a 90-minute work that is richly human and thoroughly theatrical.

Postcard from Morocco

Carmen is determined to live life on her own terms, whatever may happen, and whoever she may encounter – but her fate is written in the cards she reads. Bizet’s scandalous 1875 masterpiece blends passion, seduction, jealousy, dance, and a little law-breaking into one of the most famous opera scores ever composed.
