Welcome to the 2012-13 Season!
Virginia Opera’s 2012–13 Season brings the best of music, art and drama to the stage with four of the world’s finest operas. Each production is its own tour-de-force, weaving together enchanting melodies and captivating tales to thrill the opera lover in all of us.
Next season opens with a splash! From George Bizet, the composer of Carmen, comes the Virginia Opera premiere of the equally grand The Pearl Fishers. Truly opera at its finest, The Pearl Fishers is a powerful and passionate story set in an exotic locale with beautifully haunting melodies.
Johann Strauss II’s Die Fledermaus—Viennese operetta par excellence—returns to the repertoire just in time for the holidays. Die Fledermaus is the most popular of Strauss’s operettas and it’s sure to be an evening of sparkling humor, decadent intrigue, glamorous costumes and fabulous farce.
Award-winning American composer André Previn’s A Streetcar Named Desire continues the season with a bold new production. His fittingly sultry score for Streetcar brings musical depth and canny insight into the seminal characters created by Tennessee Williams. It’s sure to rivet both opera and theatre-lovers alike!
Our grand season finale will be a revival production of Mozart’s comic opera The Marriage of Figaro that one critic called “…as perfect an experience as one might desire.”* Arguably, one of the greatest operas ever written, The Marriage of Figaro is a witty, yet profound tale of love, revenge and forgiveness.
Our 2012–13 Season is a musical journey across the world of opera for you, our audience—the most important part of Virginia Opera. You won’t want to miss a single note!
