Florida Grand Opera performs at Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, and Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale. Here is our current season details:
Carmen
by GEORGES BIZET
No opera is more requested. No opera is so anticipated. And no opera is more beloved than Carmen! Carmen, the fiery gypsy cigarette girl, gets any man she wants—and then gets rid of him when a better one comes along. When she sets her sights on Corporal Don José, he doesn’t stand a chance. He’s smitten and gives up everything—his career, his mother, even the girl he’s going to marry—to be with the sultry siren. For a while, they revel in passion. But then Carmen meets a famous matador and dumps Don José in a heartbeat. This time, though, she has finally pushed a man too far! Join us for this traditional presentation filled with characters you’ll love and music you’ll never forget.

Eugene Onegin
by PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY
Arguably Tchaikovsky’s most beloved and most famous opera, this feverishly passionate story unfolds through the beautiful, melodic music and lush orchestration that characterize Tchaikovsky’s work. When the narcissistic young Onegin spurns the affections of a sensitive young girl and turns a pistol on his best friend in a fatal duel, he is left only with regret. Years later, reunited with his now-married former admirer, can he rekindle his chance at true love?

Before Night Falls
by JORGE MARTÍN
Based on the famous memoir of Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas, Before Night Falls follows Arenas’ life from childhood poverty in the Cuban countryside to his emigration to the United States in the 1980 Mariel boatlift, and his last decade in New York City.
Disillusioned by the Cuban Revolution and persecuted by the Castro regime as a dissident writer and homosexual, the opera follows his trials and tribulations as a political prisoner forced to smuggle his manuscripts abroad for publication. In 2000, Before Night Falls was made into an award-winning feature film directed by Julian Schnabel and starring Javier Bardem and Johnny Depp.
