Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini
From the beautiful music to the poignant plot, discover why millions of people are still falling in love with Madama Butterfly. A devastating clash of East vs. West ideals in turn of the century Japan leaves heroine, Cio-Cio San, with only one tragic solution to restore honor in her life.
Orpheus in the Underworld by Jacques Offenbach
Evoking the days of the Moulin Rouge and Toulouse-Lautrec, Orpheus in the Underworld promises not only plenty of tulle, but plenty of tunes as well. Famous for its "Cancan," the operetta takes a satirical look at the Greek mythological story of Orpheus and the meddling gods who send him on a journey to hell and back.
Three Decembers by Jake Heggie
A captivating family drama with a brilliant score, Three Decembers centers on the famous actress, Madeline Mitchell. Logging long hours on stage, the perpetually absent mother now faces the scorn of her adult children, Charlie and Bea. As family secrets are unraveled, we find that mother really does know best.
