Opera Circle's 16th Season:
The Poetry of Opera

Experience opera like you never thought possible.

  • Król Roger | Karol Szymanowski

    Question authority, social structure, and the purpose of human existence in the universe.


  • Bellini Gala | Vincenzo Bellini

    Metaphysical transformation through the sheer beauty of music.

  • Il trovatore | Giuseppe Verdi

    A gripping narrative that dares to explore the darkest corners of the human soul.

  • L'isola disabitata | Joseph Haydn

    Haydn's best opera, set to a masterful text by the Italian poet Pietro Metastasio. A gem in every respect.
