From the Artistic Director Dear arts lover, There’s something about opera that shoots straight to the heart. With emotion so visceral, theater so engrossing, and music so resplendent, opera transports you—and transforms you. And once you’re hooked, seeing one just isn’t enough. This is why I invite you to subscribe to our 2014 season, which features four powerful stories told through music: The evertantalizing Carmen, in a vibrant production never before seen in Cincinnati. The regional premiere of the sweeping wartime drama Silent Night. La Calisto, a rarely-performed gem from the Baroque era, presented in a clever new production. And to close, the beautiful, heartrending Madame Butterfly. Subscribe today, and set your plans for an unforgettable summer. See you at the opera!
