The Shining

Tennessee Premiere

Based on the novel by Stephen King.

Terror meets tragedy in this operatic adaptation of Stephen King’s masterpiece. A father unravels. A family is haunted. An isolated hotel becomes the stage for psychological collapse. With chilling vocals and a gripping score, The Shining brings new life (and death) to the story you thought you knew.

Composed by Paul Moravec. Libretto by Mark Campbell.

The Girl of The Golden West

Puccini’s Wild West Romance

She runs the saloon. She sets the rules. She holds the gun. Set in Gold Rush–era California, Puccini’s sweeping epic follows saloon owner Minnie as she faces betrayal, redemption, and a love worth risking everything for. Blending Western grit with Italian lyricism, this is opera at its boldest. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.

Sung in Italian with English supertitles.

The Barber of Seville

Fast-paced. Flirtatious. Full of mischief.

You know the music, even if you don’t know the plot. Rossini’s beloved comedy follows the clever Figaro as he helps Count Almaviva win the heart of Rosina through disguises, trickery, and more than a few famous tunes. Family-friendly and joyfully chaotic.

Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
