Opera in the Ozarks announces 2019 summer season

Courtesy

Opera in the Ozarks will open its 2019 summer season on June 21.

The season includes 22 fully staged and costumed opera productions, including new ice cream Sunday matinees and a children’s opera series.

Most events take place at the opera’s own mountainside venue in Eureka Springs, but a special chamber music concert is planned at Cooper Chapel in Bella Vista, along with a new Broadway cabaret show at the Fayetteville Town Center.

The opera’s 69th season will showcase a cast of 39 singers and professional musicians from across the country. Together, they’ll perform the season’s repertoire featuring Mozart’s The Abduction From The Seraglio, Puccini’s La Bohème, and the classic American opera, Little Women.

The children’s opera series Monkey See, Monkey Do by composer Robert Xavier Rodriguez will include free or low-cost productions performed at community locations across Northwest Arkansas. Details will be announced at a later date.

Single tickets to mainstage productions are $25 and $30 for adults, and $10 for children and students 18 and under with valid ID.

Tickets may be purchased online at opera.org or by calling the Opera in the Ozarks box office at 479-253-8595.
