Umberto Giordano's Andrea Chénier - Thursday, October 7 at 7 pm and Saturday, October 9 at 8 pm. Andrew Jackson Hall at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center -505 Deaderick Street. Featuring the Nashville Symphony under the direction of Maestro Jerome Shannon. Sung in Italian with projected English translations.

Set against the roiling backdrop of the French Revolution, Giordano's sweeping love story of an opera was even more popular than
La bohéme at its premiere. The work spins a fictitious story about a very real poet, André de Chénier, and his dangerous ideas. Poignant vignettes paint the heartrending story of the revolutionary and his dear Maddalena, whose tender hopes for a better world are extinguished at the guillotine.

W.A. Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro - Friday, January 28 at 8 pm; Sunday, January 30 at 2 pm; and Tuesday, February 1 at 7 pm.
James K. Polk Theater at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center -505 Deaderick Street. Featuring the Nashville Symphony under the direction of Maestro William Boggs. Sung in Italian with projected English translations.

Mozart's genius is on display in this sophisticated masterpiece which infuses comedy into the much darker elements beneath. Director John Hoomes distills Figaro to its delicious dramatic essence with this intimate staging.

Georges Bizet's Carmen - Thursday, April 14 at 7 pm and Saturday, April 16 at 8 pm. Andrew Jackson Hall at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center - 505 Deaderick Street. Featuring the Nashville Symphony under the direction of Maestro James Meena. Sung in French with projected English Translations.

Bizet's Carmen is one of the world's most top three most beloved operas of all time. The sultry gypsy Carmen pulls in men like a magnet, but her beliefs about free love cast them off just as quickly. With music which permeates our culture, Carmen is a perennial force to be reckoned with even today.

Nashville Opera is also offering a special add-on production to the spectacular 30th Anniversary Season: Englebert Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel. This family-friendly production will be the first performance in the new Noah Liff Opera Center in Sylvan Heights.

Directed by Stuart Holt and conducted by Amy Tate Williams. General admission seating: $30 for adults and $10 for children 12 and younger.
