Machinations, mind games and unabashed ambitions are rampant in the court of Claudius, Emperor of Rome. No one is more adept at manipulating the political lackeys than his clever wife, Agrippina, sister of the emperor Claudius overthrew. Power-hungry and keen on revenge, Agrippina will stab just about anyone in the back to get what she wants — her son Nero seated on the throne. When Claudius names his favorite general as his successor, Agrippina will have to play her cards just right. Considered Handel’s earliest masterpiece, sex, intrigue and sharp humor fuel this biting political satire.

Directed by Susan Felder

An electrifying tale of a creature cast away by his creator into a hostile world — only to wind his way back in a dangerous game of destruction — that has captivated audiences for over 200 years. This gothic story comes to life with Nick Dear’s adaptation of the chilling fable by Mary Shelley, animating the themes of social rejection, intellectual hubris and the clash of good and evil. Content advisory: This production contains adult content, including scenes depicting physical and sexual violence.

Let your passions burn as Opera d’arte presents the tragic, but heroic love story between the Queen of Carthage and the hero of Troy. Henry Purcell’s only true opera, Baroque masterpiece Dido and Aeneas, is presented in a double bill with Giacomo Puccini’s raucous comedy, Gianni Schicchi, where we see a family passionately struggling to gain the inheritance of a dead relative, only to be outwitted by Gianni, who has his own passionate reasons to turn the tables! There is truly something for every opera lover in this double bill.

Decadence and excess are the life of the party in this jazzy 1920s whodunnit. Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the colorful arrival of a slew of guests living life on the edge, Queenie’s wandering eyes land on a striking man named Black. As the party’s decadence and destruction reaches a climax, so does Burrs’ jealousy. Tickets will not be available for purchase at the venue.
