Le Nozze di Figaro
By W.A Mozart
One of Mozart’s most beloved works gets a classic retelling, bringing to Miami the music and characters that have captured the hearts of opera lovers the world over. Servants Figaro and his promised Susanna prepare for their upcoming wedding, only to find that his employer the Count has impure intentions for her as well. Fearing that the Count will reinstate the ancient First Night rite to rendezvous with her, Figaro sets about scheming to outsmart him. Meanwhile, the lovely Countess, to whom Susanna is ever faithful, begins to suspect the same and devises her own trap to catch him in his mischief. The classes battle in a light-hearted comedy sung in Italian by the MMF Opera Institute, which features some of Mozart’s most beautiful melodies ever written.

Immersive Rusalka
By Antonín Dvořák
Fall under the spell of Dvořák’s Rusalka — a hauntingly beautiful tale of love, sacrifice, and the supernatural, presented in an immersive indoor theater with 360-degree projections that bring this enchanting world to life.
When a water nymph falls in love with a human prince, she makes a fateful deal to become mortal—giving up her voice in exchange for a chance at true love. But the human world proves far more dangerous than she imagined, and her dream quickly turns into a heartbreaking struggle between two worlds.
Featuring Dvořák’s unforgettable “Song to the Moon” and a score full of sweeping romance and dark enchantment, Rusalka is a breathtaking fusion of fairy tale and opera.

Immersive The Ghosts of Versailles
By John Corigliano
In The Ghosts of Versailles, the spirits have quite literally returned to the court of Louis XVI—this time in an immersive indoor theater with 360-degree projections that surround the audience in a world of opulence, fantasy, and satire. Marie Antoinette is upset about having been beheaded, so her favorite playwright attempts to entertain her by continuing the adventures of his characters from The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro. This opera-within-an-opera goes awry when Figaro refuses to stick to the script and the playwright must come to the Queen’s rescue and win her affection.
