Cast Set for FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at the Alliance Theatre
Performances will run from September 4 to October 5, 2025.
Alliance Theatre and The Atlanta Opera will co-produce a new staging of Fiddler on the Roof, with performances running from September 4 to October 5, 2025, at the Alliance Theatre. This collaboration brings together artists from across the theatrical and operatic worlds to present a thoughtful take on the classic musical. Embracing the power of family, traditions, and community to provide resilience and strength in the face of crushing hardship and transitions, Fiddler on the Roof is a story both universal and profoundly personal. This arts collaboration includes an upcoming exhibit at Atlanta's Breman Museum, which features works by Vita Tzykun, Costume Designer for Fiddler, and her father Arkady Tzykun. Performance tickets are available through AllianceTheatre.org and AtlantaOpera.org.
