Join us this fall as we open our 2025/26 Season with the Company Premiere of Héctor Armienta’s ZORRO, followed by the return of Giacomo Puccini’s timeless masterpiece, MADAMA BUTTERFLY, and finally the semi-staged production of Gioachino Rossini’s delightful opera, CINDERELLA (LA CENERENTOLA).

Together we explored the depths of Edgar Allan Poe’s gothic tale, witnessed love unfold in Paris with a beloved Puccini classic, rediscovered a Mozart masterwork outdoors, and traversed a first-of-its-kind, one-time experimental production.
