Carmen (Bizet/Meilhac & Halévy)

A gypsy woman who heeds no law but her own, the fiery Carmen is caught between a corporal and a toreador. Bizet's masterful score, bursting with tunes, is one of the most popular operas in the repertory - and with good reason!

Medea (Cherubini/Hoffman)

Betrayal and revenge are at the core of many great dramas, but the story of the Greek Princess Medea -- with her shocking response to her husband's infidelity -- surely tops them all. Don't miss this opportunity to see Cherubini's rarely performed version of Euripides's famous tragedy.

Annie Get Your Gun (Berlin/Fields)

As part of the company's mission to produce new, little-known and familiar operas and works of music theater, The Glimmerglass Festival will offer an annual production of an American musical theater piece performed in the way it was first heard with full orchestra and chorus and without amplification. Based on the real-life romance of Anine Oakley and Frank Butler, Annie Get Your Gun contains some of Irving Berlin's best-known tunes: "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better," "I Got Lost in His Arms," "There's No Business Like Show Business," and many more.

Double Bill

A Blizzard in Marblehead Neck (Tesori/Kushner)

The world premiere of A Blizzard in Marblehead Neck will be inspired by an episode in the life of playwright Eugene O'Neill. This will be the first operatic composition for Jeanine Tesori, who is well-known for her scores on Broadway, including Shrek The Musical and Tony Award-winning Caroline, or Change. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner will provide the original libretto; Kushner is acclaimed for his Tony Award-winning play, Angels in America, which was later turned into a mini-series.

Later the Same Evening (Musto/Campbell)

Originally commissioned by the National Gallery of Art, the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center and the University of Maryland, Later the Same Evening is a one-act opera inspired by five paintings of American icon Edward Hopper. The opera is written by Pulitzer Prize-nominated composer John Musto and award-winning librettist Mark Campbell, who previously collaborated on the highly successful comic opera, Volpone, for Wolf Trap Opera. Later the Same Evening imagines the lives of the figures in Hopper's paintings and weaves a narrative that connects them - both tangentially and directly - on a single night in New York City in 1932.
