Mozart's Così fan tutte ("The School for Lovers")

October 3 and 5 at 8pm and October 6 at 3pm at Raleigh's Fletcher Opera Theater

Mozart's entertaining masterpiece makes comedic magic with the disguises we wear for love. In 18th-century Naples, an old bachelor decides to teach two soldiers a lesson about romantic fickleness, wagering that their fiancées will stray if the young men obey him for just 24 hours. Naïvely taking the bet, the soldiers pretend to go off to war but then sneak back disguised as Albanians and try to woo each other's women, setting off a dazzling plot full of feigned poisonings, scheming chambermaids, sham weddings, and sudden reversals of fidelity.

Puccini's La bohème

January 24 at 8pm and January 26 at 3pm at Raleigh's Memorial Auditorium

Puccini's ravishing heartbreaker -the inspiration for Broadway's RENT- opens on a snowy Christmas Eve in 1830s Paris. A garret of artists starving in bohemian poverty set out to blow their rent money on one splendid night in the Latin Quarter, swirling through unforgettable locales such as the Café Momus, which vividly springs to life in this production. The poet Rodolfo's chance encounter with the seamstress Mimi, who harbors a terrible secret, sparks a passionate and timeless story about young lovers hurled together by fortune and driven apart by jealousy.

The North Carolina premiere of Dvo?ák's Rusalka (Semi-Staged)

March 30 at 3pm at Raleigh's Meymandi Concert Hall

The water sprite who longs for human love has a literary lineage much older than The Little Mermaid, and Czech composer Antonín Dvorák used his legendary symphonic might to weave a rich, poignant version of the tale. Smitten by a prince, the water nymph Rusalka convinces a witch-by singing the famously gorgeous aria "Song to the Moon"-to make her human in exchange for her voice. Dvorak's lush melodies bring this beloved story to life in this dramatic semi-staged performance.
