Die Fledermaus (The Bat)
By JOHANN STRAUSS II
Libretto by KARL HAFFNER and RICHARD GENÉE
Get ready for a night of glamour, laughter, and irresistible melodies as we bring Johann Strauss II’s Die Fledermaus to life—South Florida style! Inspired by the vibrancy and energy of our city, this production is more than just an opera; it’s a celebration. We’re transforming the grandeur of the Viennese courts into a dazzling spectacle, packed with surprises, special guest appearances, and a party you won’t want to miss.
Step into a world of high society, masked revelry, and mischievous intrigue, where mistaken identities and playful deception set the stage for a whirlwind of comedy and sumptuous Viennese waltzes. At the heart of it all is Dr. Falke’s grand scheme for revenge on his friend Eisenstein—an elaborate prank that unfolds at an extravagant masquerade ball, where champagne flows freely, secrets spill, and the unexpected is always around the corner.
With its soaring arias, effervescent ensembles, and lush orchestral score, Die Fledermaus is pure joy from start to finish. Featuring a brilliant cast, opulent costumes, and an atmosphere infused with South Florida’s dynamic spirit, this production is designed to transport you to a world where the music sparkles, the laughter never stops, and the party never ends!

Turandot
By GIACOMO PUCCINI
Libretto by GIUSEPPE ADAMI and RENATO SIMONI
Get ready for an opera of high-stakes drama, breathtaking spectacle, and one of the most legendary scores ever composed. Puccini’s final masterpiece, Turandot, comes to life in a production that honors the grandeur of its 1926 La Scala premiere while pushing boundaries with stunning visual technology. Seamlessly blending innovation with tradition, this epic tale is more immersive and electrifying than ever.
At the heart of the story is the cold and enigmatic Princess Turandot, who tests her suitors with three impossible riddles—failure means death. But when the fearless Prince Calaf succeeds, the real challenge begins—not of intellect, but of love. Will he melt Turandot’s icy heart, or will fate take yet another victim?
From the electrifying power of “Nessun dorma” to sweeping orchestral landscapes, Puccini’s score pulses with passion, intensity, and grandeur. This production takes Turandot to new heights, merging opulent costumes and lavish sets with cutting-edge stagecraft to transport audiences into a world of mystery, romance, and spectacle. With a chorus that shakes the stage and a breathtaking design that immerses you in the story, this is Turandot as you’ve never experienced it before—bold, exhilarating, and utterly mesmerizing.
