This Charming Comedy Is Sure to Warm Your Heart
Whimsical wit and beautiful music combine with playful imposters, mistaken love, and a “magical” elixir to create a tantalizing comic concoction.
Gaetano Donizetti’s sparkling opera is overflowing with tunes to dazzle your ear and warm your heart. Features one of the most popular tenor solos ever written, Nemorino’s achingly beautiful and touching “Una furtiva lagrima” (One furtive tear) and the show-stopping ensemble, “Adina, credimi” (Adina, listen).
Lovesick Nemorino, the poor, but good-hearted country boy, has fallen madly in love with the rich, smart, and beautiful Adina. She’s out of his league, but luckily the scheming Dr. Dulcamara has just the cure for what ails him: drink his celebrated love potion and within 24 hours, Adina will be unable to resist him. Will this magical tincture really work?
Sung in Italian with projected English translations.

Be Swept Away into a World of Young Love & Romance
Poor in cash but rich in dreams, the poet Rodolfoand the frail but beautiful seamstress Mimì chance upon each other one cold winter’s night and fall in love. But soon winter fades, taking with it the love of a lifetime.
Set in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1830s, this true-to-life tale of struggling young artists living life to the fullest will make you laugh and break your heart.
A brilliant mix of lightness and darkness, La Bohème is one of the most romantic operas ever written. Soaring, lyrical, and intensely emotional, this is the music that made Puccini a legend and inspired the Broadway sensation and hit movie, Rent.
Features some of opera’s most famous tunes: the arias “Che gelida manina” (What a frozen little hand), “Mi chiamano Mimì” (My name is Mimì), ”Quando m’en vo” (Musetta’s Waltz), and the great love duet, “O soave fanciulla” (Oh lovely girl).
Sung in Italian with projected English translations.
