Celebrate John Concepción’s 16 years of Opera Up Close with this one-of-a-kind musical gridiron extravaganza!
Get ready for the ultimate mashup of music and football spirit! This isn’t your typical concert—it’s an operatic showdown with all the drama of game day.
The playbook is set for an epic battle: In the first half (AFC), Sopranos take on Mezzo Sopranos to see who can score the vocal touchdown. Then, the Halftime Show brings surprise ensembles and special numbers to keep the energy roaring before intermission. After the break, the second half (NFC) kicks off with Tenors versus Baritones in a clash of powerhouse voices. Finally, the champions of each conference will face off in the Finale, where one ultimate winner will claim the Opera Bowl 2026 trophy and bask in a confetti-filled celebration!
Your vote decides the winner! Scan the QR code during each performance to cheer for your favorites. Expect referee hijinks, penalty flags, and even sports-style commentary to keep things hilariously dramatic.
