Expect the unexpected
This is what opera was intended to be...
LBO is doing...what it has become known for...putting on operas that are new...and challenging.
Our Saturday matinee of Tell-Tale Heart/Van Gogh is sold out but we've still got some killer seats for you at our May 18 and May 19 evening performances. Tickets are now being sold only at the venue.
Forget what you thought opera stands for - we’ve redefined opera as experiences that are:
Outside the Box
Provocative
Engaging
Relevant
Adventurous

UPCOMING PERFORMANCES
Delirious. Manic. Damned. A double bill with a meticulous murderer and a self-condemned artist. Stewart Copeland, drummer/founder of the rock band The Police, and Michael Gordon, Bang on a Can co-founder, take these stories to the edge of rock, jazz, and modernism.

Macbeth by Ernest Bloch
Ambitious. Violent. Treacherous. Macbeth, incited by witches' prophecies, trades honor for power. Doomed by his own deeds, he is killed by a man "not born of a woman." Ernest Bloch's lavish and highly dramatic 1906 score creates the perfect tone for this bone-chilling thriller. Learn more about our Coincidence, "Ambition or Obsession?", here!
