Orpheus and Eurydice

THE STORY THAT INSPIRED THE BROADWAY HIT, 'HADESTOWN'

In this classic myth of unwavering love that celebrates the transcendent power of music, Orpheus descends to the land of shadows to rescue his bride Eurydice. His music charms its gatekeepers, and the gods allow Eurydice to return—on the condition that Orpheus lead her back to the world of the living without gazing upon her face.

In this new production, Director Joachim Schamberger envisions the famous couple later in life as Eurydice descends into dementia—a heartbroken Orpheus uses love and the power of music to rescue her from darkness.

Gluck's original 1762 score will be conducted by Music Director Emmanuel Villaume, leading The Dallas Opera Orchestra and Chorus. Two exciting young singers lead the cast: countertenor Hugh Cutting, making his U.S. debut as the steadfast lover Orpheus, and soprano Madison Leonard as the enigmatic Eurydice.

Language: Sung in Italian with projected English titles

Running Time: Approximately 75 minutes with no intermission.

Rating: PG.

La bohème

TO BE YOUNG AND IN LOVE AND IN PARIS...

Hungry, cold, broke, and deliriously in love, the artists in Puccini's masterpiece break our hearts over and over again each time it is performed, our pulses quickening as Rodolfo lights Mimì's candle anew. The Dallas Opera's treasured period production returns with a fresh cast of some of opera's brightest rising stars, transporting us to the cafés and corridors of Paris's Latin Quarter as tragedy hovers nearby.

In their Dallas Opera debuts, Uzbekistan-born tenor Bekhzod Davronov sings Rodolfo and American lyric soprano Sylvia D'Eramo is Mimì. Japanese baritone Takaoki Onishi is Marcello, and the magnetic Musetta is sung by American soprano Emily Pogorelc.

Language: Sung in Italian with projected English titles

Running Time: Approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes including 2 intermissions.
