Three Decades. One Family. A Journey of Heartache and Forgiveness.
Madeline Mitchell is a famed theatre actress at the peak of her career. However, her illustrious life on the stage pales in comparison to the drama behind the scenes with her two adult children, Charlie and Bea. Set against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis, Three Decembers explores themes of family secrets, love, loss, and the challenges of connection.
Three Decembers is a modern, chamber opera presented in English. Lasting 90 minutes, this show features Pensacola Opera family Kara Shay Thomson and two of our 2025-26 Jan Miller Studio Artists, conducted by Music Director Cody Martin.
