Introducing our 2026–27 Season: Unconventional Women ⚡️

This season celebrates women who defy expectations, challenge convention, and leave an unforgettable mark on the world around them. Under the leadership of Guest Artistic Director Cara Consilvio, we’re proud to present a year of bold storytelling and unforgettable music.

From the deeply personal storytelling of Three Decembers and the delightfully audacious Florence Foster Jenkins in Souvenir, to the fiery independence of Bizet’s Carmen, these stories explore resilience, ambition, artistry, and the courage to live life on your own terms.

Join us for a season of bold voices, compelling characters, and extraordinary music.

💫Valarie Beck – Love Letter to Michigan
💫Three Decembers
💫Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins
💫The VanderLaan Prize
💫Carmen

Subscriptions are on sale now. We can’t wait to share this season with you.

Three decades. One family. Three Decembers.

Jake Heggie and Gene Scheer’s Three Decembers follows Madeline Mitchell and her two adult children across 1986, 1996, and 2006, as they return to the same family home and confront what has changed, what has been left unsaid, and what remains.

From the beginning of the story in 1986 to the final chapter in 2006, each December brings a new perspective on family, memory, and the passage of time.

We’re getting closer to opening night.
