Opera Omaha has an exciting season ahead, beginning with the popular “The Barber of Seville.” The opera will have two performances: Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. For information on other upcoming performances, visit the opera’s website.
The season also includes:
Feb. 12 and 14: “La Fanciulla del West”
Set in the saloon of a California mining camp during the Gold Rush, “La Fanciulla del West” (The Girl of the Golden West) has all the grit and grandeur of our greatest western films. Puccini’s soaring melodies provide the heartbeat of a dramatic love story filled with passion, redemption and forgiveness. This period production will be directed by Lillian Groag (“Carmen,” 2013). Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
April 8 and 10: “Semele”
Visionary director James Darrah and his creative team Chromatic (“Agrippina,” 2014 and “A Flowering Tree,” 2015) return to Opera Omaha with a new production of Handel’s “Semele” — a darkly comic mythological story of a mortal woman’s tryst with a dangerous god. Featuring some of Handel’s most glorious orchestral and virtuosic vocal writing, Semele is an opera of unbridled lust, jealousy and revenge. Early music specialist and Grammy®-winning conductor, Stephen Stubbs (“Agrippina,” 2014), will lead another exceptional ensemble of artists. Sung in English with English supertitles.
