About the 2023 Summer Festival:
For more than a century, summer in Cincinnati has signaled the return of Cincinnati Opera’s annual Summer Festival. Cincinnati Opera’s 2023 Summer Festival includes four operas throughout June and July at historic Music Hall, along with a vibrant variety of smaller-scale performances and engaging community events. The 2023 Summer Festival includes: Opera in the Park (June 11), a free, family-friendly concert of opera favorites in Washington Park; Gaetano Donizetti’s haunting Scottish thriller Lucia di Lammermoor (June 22 and 24); the world stage premiere of Aleksandra Vrebalov and Deborah Brevoort’s moving opera about American military families, The Knock (June 23 and 27, July 2, 5, and 7); Gioachino Rossini’s supremely silly The Barber of Seville (July 6 and 8); Studio Sessions (July 12 and 19), intimate, cabaret-style concerts featuring opera artists; and a thrilling new production of Giacomo Puccini’s Madame Butterfly (July 22, 27, and 29) created by an all-Japanese and Japanese American design team.
