For our mainstage production, we are reprising our version of the Tony award winning musical, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. We did a film version during the pandemic (garnering two EMACT awards!) and are excited to perform it live onstage at Calliope in our June slot. Aldo Fabrizi will return as both music and stage director. With many returning performers and some fresh new faces, this delightfully entertaining show will leave you smiling for days to come! Tickets available now on our ticket page.

John and Abigail Adams both went through times of quarantine during the 18th century small pox epidemic - he shortly before their marriage, and she along with her 4 small children while her husband was helping birth the new country in Philadelphia. As expressed in their letters, they felt the pangs of isolation, fear, uncertainty and separation, much like the ones we've all been facing in the past months. Dramatically read by Todd Yard and Elaine Crane. Watch the film on our YouTube channel - John and Abigail Adams : Letters from Quarantine, or click the "play" button below. |
Diamonds and ToadsGreater Worcester Opera is pleased to offer an original production for elementary age students. Diamonds and Toads is based on the French fairy tale by Perrault and tells the tale of two sisters, and how by way of a Fairy they learn the value of kind speech, and empathy. This tale has a valuable lesson, and is also an excellent introduction to the music of Mozart. The cast features Sandy Fritze as the Fairy, Erin Conley/Christine Petkus as Rose and Elaine Crane as Grace, with storybook sets and costumes. The production gave its first performance on January 30, 2009 in Worcester and has been delighting schools and communities throughout Massachusetts ever since.
