The Magic Flute
November 16-19, 2024
Die Zauberflöte
By W. A. Mozart
An original FGO production
Conceived and directed by Jeffrey Marc Buchman
In this groundbreaking update of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, five teenagers sneak into a warehouse to play a fantasy role-playing board game. As the dice roll, fantasy erupts into reality, a fire-breathing dragon bursts into their space and each teen takes on a character from the opera.
Featuring cutting-edge visuals, The Magic Flute will be performed in German with English- and Spanish-projected translations.
The Elixir of Love
February 1-4, 2025
L’elisir d’amore
By Gaetano Donizetti
In The Elixir of Love, village lad Nemorino is smitten with Adina, a young woman of independent mind and means. Weary of Nemorino’s adoration, Adina marries swaggering sergeant Belcore. In desperation, Nemorino invests his hope and meager finances in a love potion. From the uproarious “Wedding Duet” to the poignant “Una furtiva lagrima,” Gaetano Donizetti’s music boasts soulful melodies and comedic charm. Felice Romani’s witty libretto and scenario set the stage for laughter and love.
The Elixir of Love will be performed in Italian with English- and Spanish-projected translations.
Carmen
April 12-15, 2025
By Georges Bizet
Director Maria Todaro’s version of Georges Bizet’s Carmen is set during Franco’s reign in 1937 Spain, a period rife with distrust and violence. Carmen, a femme fatale Gypsy who works in a Seville cigarette factory, loves who she wants, when she wants, and she refuses to compromise. She’s a challenging, compelling heroine who defies class lines and authority in a story that has captivated audiences for almost 150 years.
Carmen will be performed in French with English- and Spanish-projected translations.
