There’s no operatic tour de force to surpass Elektra, with a title role that demands a truly great singing actress. It’s a stunning vocal marathon, with riveting intensity. This passionate heroine is the Mycenaean princess whose father, Agamemnon, was murdered by her mother, Klytemnestra, leaving Elektra hell-bent on revenge. As Richard Strauss’s staggeringly powerful orchestra moves inexorably toward the opera’s hair-raising finale, the music gives you a composer at his zenith — magnificently theatrical and devastatingly moving.

Achingly romantic and poignant. This is the story of La traviata, “the “wayward one,” Paris’s most desirable courtesan. Barons, marquises…she’s entertained them all, and loved not one of them.But then, the impossible dream comes true. The arrival of Alfredo, who sweeps her off her feet and promises her a life of devoted bliss. She’s deliriously happy for the first time ever! But life (and opera) are sometimes too cruel; the lady’s shady past comes back to crush her, and the future that should have been so bright slips sadly away.

If you cherish the classic tale of star-crossed love in Romeo and Juliet, then Lucia di Lammermoor will sweep you away with its intense romance. The most famous of all bel canto operas, you’ll be transfixed by the passion of the heroine and her lover Edgardo (you’ll long remember their heavenly love duet) and the vocal fireworks of Lucia’s dazzling mad scene, as she breaks your heart while sending spectacular coloratura and high notes soaring. This beautiful period production features a star cast that is not to be missed.
