First up is the previously announced “Tosca” starring Leah Hawkins, Rafael Davila, and Todd Thomas. Ari Pelto conducts a production directed by Ned Canty.

Performance Dates: Jan. 27 & 28, 2023 

“Opera Goes to Mardi Gras” will feature Erika Vasallo and Matthew Soibelman alongside pianist Jacob Kerzner as they present music by such composers as Verdi, Rossini, Bernstein, and Poulenc, among others.

Marie-Stéphane Bernard will perform “Sounds of My Life” in a co-production with Germantown Performing Arts Center. She will be joined by pianist Karim Medjebeur.

““I wanted to create first and foremost a performance that I would love to see,” Bernard said of the program for the concert. “I imagined what I loved to hear and started there. My goal was to share beautiful music – arias, operettas, French chansons – and bring audiences on my journey of discovery.”
