In a sweeping story of desire, freedom, and impossible choices, @nuoperatheatre brings Puccini's "La rondine" to life.

Love burns bright, jealousy rages, and fate arrives all too soon. Georges Bizet’s “Carmen” runs February 26th-March 1st in Cahn Auditorium.

In sun-drenched Seville, the defiant and free-spirited Carmen captivates Don José, drawing him into a passionate and fiery romance. But as Carmen’s heart turns toward the bullfighter Escamillo, desire spirals into deadly obsession. Join us for @nuoperatheatre’s thrilling production of Bizet’s operatic masterpiece!
