OPERAX Series to Return to Judson's Live at Dr. Phillips Center
General director Gabriel Preisser will appear at each event in the series.
Opera Orlando's OperaX series returns to Judson's Live at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts — and after three sold-out events last season, the only question was, 'How do we outdo ourselves?' OperaX ('Opera Experience') brings together food, opera, and fantastic company as a lead-up and connection to the productions On the MainStage. Whether you've seen a hundred operas or none at all, OperaX is the evening that proves opera was always meant to be this much fun.
Featuring world-renowned guest artists, Opera Orlando Studio Artists, and incredible local talent, OperaX offers a fun and unexpected way for audiences of all kinds to fall in love with opera. Learn more about these new shows and their featured artists below.
