While we’re on the subject of Spanish barbers, the Teatro de la Zarzuela has a rather charming production of El barberillo de Lavapiés. In fact, one of the numbersin the final act is a popular favorite in our Resident Artists’ school shows! You might have to brush up on your Spanish for this recording, though—the subtitles are in Spanish. Even if y...
You’d be hard pressed to find opera music that is more fun than that of Jacques Offenbach. This operetta about two penniless street singers is no exception.
There are just times when only an absurdly frivolous Viennese operetta will do—and being stuck in the house all day is one of those times!

While she may have regretted taking me to a show with such an… um… unusual plot, I remember lovi...
There’s nothing like a feel-good, fairy-tale opera. This imaginative production of the Rossini classic sets the story in a world of toy soldiers and dolls, making it feel particularly magical.
We know what you’re probably thinking—after a long list of standard classics that are over an hour, what is a short, contemporary opera doing on this list? Hear us out.
