Based on Italian folk tales of the Nativity and Epiphany, Gian Carlo Menotti’s Amahl and The Night Visitors is a retelling of the story of the Magi from the point of view of a young disabled boy named Amahl. He sees a bright star in the sky one night and tells his mother, but she brushes him off, buried in concern over their poverty and bleak future. That night, three kings come across their hut, seeking shelter after a long journey following the star of which Amahl had spoken. They bring gifts to give to “the Child,” who has just been born and will reign over all.

Lucidity is a chamber opera by composer Laura Kaminsky and librettist David Cote that explores the fragile interplay between memory, identity, and music. The story centers on Lili, a celebrated former opera singer confronting the early stages of dementia. As her cognitive abilities decline, her son Dante—a once-promising pianist—has put his own career on hold to care for her. Their dynamic is further complicated when Dr. Claire Klugman, a neuroscientist and Lili’s former student, introduces Lili to a music therapy study involving Sunny, a gifted young clarinetist.

La Traviata, composed by Giuseppe Verdi with a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, is a tragic opera set in Paris and follows the story of Violetta Valéry, a celebrated courtesan. At a lavish party, she meets Alfredo Germont, a young man who has admired her from afar. Touched by his sincerity and love, Violetta abandons her glamorous lifestyle and retreats to the countryside with him. Their happiness is short-lived, however, when Alfredo’s father, Giorgio Germont, secretly visits Violetta and urges her to end the relationship to preserve the family’s honor and secure his daughter’s future. Heartbroken, Violetta sacrifices her own happiness and leaves Alfredo without explaining the true reason.
