One chance meeting can change people's lives forever. When Rodolfo hears a knock at his door on Christmas Eve, opera's greatest love story is launched! Puccini's soaring, aching melodies perfectly capture the emotion of every moment, from the exhilaration of young love at first sight to the story's unforgettable and heartbreaking conclusion. The unbridled passion of this ageless tale has made it a favorite of audiences for over a century.
at Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington, MA
Berkshire Opera Festival presents an afternoon of arias and ensembles that span over 200 years of operatic composition. In keeping with BOF's vision to explore the entire operatic repertoire, these selections represent a wide range of musical styles, and are sung by strong characters who each "broke the mold" in their own way. BOF is proud to present a world-class slate of artists to perform this powerful music.
Paris has inspired more artists to loftier heights of creativity than perhaps any other city. From Puccini to Massenet to Strauss, several of the world's greatest composers set their most memorable operas in the City of Light. Join BOF Artistic Director and Co-Founder Brian Garman on a tour through this wonderful repertoire with some of opera's up-and-coming stars.
This concert is made possible in part by the generous support of sponsors
John O'Brien and Jamie Lehrer, and co-sponsor William Briggs.
