ANNOUNCING: 2025/26 OperaDelaware season!
OperaDelaware’s 2025/26 MainStage season at The Grand Opera House is a searing tribute to the power of art as resistance and the role of artists in revolution. This season features two towering masterpieces: PUCCINI'S TOSCA (Oct 17 + 19) and GIORDANO'S ANDREA CHÉNIER (May 10, 13 + 15).
In the OperaDelaware Studio Series, we'll have performances of PUCCINI PORTRAITS (featuring highlights of Tosca, Madame Butterfly, and Fanciulla del West), OPERADEATHMATCH (an interactive evening of opera's greatest rivalries with a BOXING twist!), SERVICE PROVIDER/PAGLIACCI (two short and impactful operas centered on calamitous love triangles), CABARET FOR TWO (an intimate affair in the Presser Black Box Theater), and STAYIN' ALIVE (a cheeky performance with one rule: NO ONE DIES!)
Together this season shows the resilience and tenacity of artists who challenge, entertain, and inspire!
