Aida

Role: Aida

Tickets: https://www.laopera.org/performances/2122-season-page/aida-2

Relationships are hard work. Especially when it's between a prisoner of war and her captor. Oh, and their love has to remain a secret (for obvious reasons).

Verdi's epic drama Aida returns to our stage for the first time in 16 years, in a sensational production starring Latonia Moore and Russell Thomas. Director Francesca Zambello conjures a gorgeous world where hieroglyphics by the L.A.-based artist RETNA create a striking backdrop to the timeless story. Expect to be further blown away by a huge chorus and orchestra, a ballet, and beautiful music that's both intimate and heroic in this grandest of grand operas.

All tickets now on sale below. Save more when you purchase a 2021/22 subscription package.

"The audience loved her. When Ms. Moore took her solo curtain call at the end, she received an ecstatic ovation... her voice was radiant, plush and sizable at its best, with gleaming top notes that broke through the chorus and orchestra during the crowd scenes. She also has appealing stage presence, and brought palpable emotion to her portrayal of the tormented Aida."

Anthony Tomassini – New York Times

Fire Shut Up In My Bones

Tickets: https://www.lyricopera.org/shows/upcoming/2021-22/fire-shut-up-in-my-bones/

New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow’s widely acclaimed memoir is the source for this extremely moving story of his traumatic youth in Louisiana. What an amazing collection of talent — composer Terence Blanchard, one of the most influential figures in American jazz; librettist Kasi Lemmons, director of such remarkable films as Harriet and Eve’s Bayou; and a topflight cast including many of America’s most brilliant singing actors. Fire Shut Up in My Bones is an opera for today, revealing the Black experience in this country as few other operas have done.

  • Language: Performed in English with projected English texts

“A vocal, instrumental and emotional thriller.”—The Dallas Morning News

Boasting some of the most famous operatic music of all time, this beloved romantic tragedy reveals the story of the gentle geisha Cio-Cio-San, who gives up everything to marry American naval officer B.F. Pinkerton—a heartless cad who ultimately abandons her and their little son with devastating results.

With stars including:

Latonia Moore as Cio-Cio-San
Blessed with glorious sound and stage presence, this Met star and Texas native has “a creamy lyric soprano that could take her to the top of her profession.” —Opera, London

Evan LeRoy Johnson as B.F. Pinkerton
Tall, handsome, strapping…a voice with gleaming, robust tone and Heldentenor promise…he is a major talent.” —Opera Today

Emmanuel Villaume conducts The Dallas Opera Orchestra in this original production from The Dallas Opera

2021/2022 Season Sponsor: Mary Anne Cree, in memory of Rosine Smith Sammons

Sung in Italian with English Supertitles
