2011-2012 Season

We are proud to finally unveil our 11th  Season with 5 of what should prove to be unforgettable performances!  It is a tough decision narrowing down operas for the season when there are centuries of wonderful ones  from which to choose. We went through endless possibilities, but we think have come up with a season that provides something for every opera lover! 

So....drumroll please....We kick off 2012 with Verdi's infamous tragedy/farce  

Il Trovatore on February 4th
The Anvil Chorus: one of the most recognizable opera choruses ...ever.

and then we do a 180 degree turn from the war torn 15th Century Spanish Kingdom of Aragon to to the frivolity of 19th Century Vienna in

Die Fledermaus on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 2012. 


From there we continue the laughter with two nights of classic bel canto comedy in Donizetti's

Don Pasquale on April 21st and 22nd.


 and on to the haunting balletic masterpiece based on works by Heinrich Heine and Gautier: Adolph Adams'

Giselle on May 22nd, 2012 

and finally ending the Season with the beloved annual event featuring glorious music under the stars

Opera on the Lake on May 19th, 2012


There it is! And don't worry, we'll be filling you in on more information about the season and the singers!
