William Shakespeare’s works were meant to be enjoyed by all in an intimate setting as they delve into the human condition and everyday life and love.
Join us as we share the words of William Shakespeare through song! We will soothe your soul, make you laugh, and above all, have a great evening chanelling the bard!
We are very sorry to say that in order to exercise caution, we are canceling our show that had been scheduled for next Friday, March 20th at The Wonderland Ballroom. We want to do our part to ensure that our audience, performers, and the staff at Wonderland stay healthy.
We are still planning to hold our April show (April 17th!) for now, though we will certainly evaluate that as needed. In the meantime, please enjoy some of your favorite recordings at home, and we send healthy wishes to you all!

Sometimes we like it light. Sometimes we like it dark. Occasionally a little dissonant.
We always like it Mahler.
We are excited to pair up with MahlerFest and Upslope Brewing Company to bring you an evening of our favorite moody Romantic! Add food from Samples World Bistro‘s food truck and you have a truly dreamy triple pairing.

Although not unique to opera, the pants role – women playing male characters – is a device common in works including Mozart’s Nozze di Figaro to Gounod’s Romeo et Juliette and Strauss’ Rosekavalier.
While intended to better depict young men, we all know who is wearing the pants here.
Let’s celebrate the girls who play boys who love girls!

Sopranos think they are all that with their high notes and coloratura and epic death scenes – but how do they measure up again witchy mezzos, lovesick tenors, and baritone bullies?
One night only!

You decide who wins in this operatic smack-the-fach-down!
