2026-2027 Season Productions - Our 20th season!

Please join us for the first performance of our 2026/2027 season. We are proud to present Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio in concert format.

Performances will be December 19th & 20th, 2026

Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail is a singspiel style opera, prized for arias like Osmin and Pedrillo's comic drinking duet "Vivat Bacchus", Belmonte's "O wie ängstlich, o wie feurig" and of course Konstanze's "Martern aller Arten."

We hope you will join us for these enjoyable performances!

Tickets will be available soon.

Audience Praise for Opera51 Productions

Comments received from Turandot attendees match the palpable audience enthusiasm felt in the hall:

"Congrats on a splendid, compelling production of Turandot! The Princess and Calaf were first rate, the 3 Ps delightful, and the rest of the cast and orchestra fully up to the task. The semi-staging and use of the space and its features were totally convincing. Two months ago we went to New York to see the Met’s luscious Zeffirelli production before it is retired. In all sincerity, we enjoyed Opera51’s production just as much and in some respects even more."

"My wife and I went to Friday night’s performance. We had no expectations, but it was GREAT! We were really impressed with the quality of the singing and the orchestra. We are very used to the Met’s Zeffirrelli production, but the intimacy of Opera51 allowed us to focus more on the music and not the grandiosity."
