The Power of Love

Alaska’s got talent!

This dazzling musical extravaganza will move your soul and fill your heart with joy. Guest artists join Alaska’s greatest operatic vocal talents and the AO Orchestra to perform an evening of opera’s most beautiful and passionate music. Love binds us together!

Pagliacci ("The Clowns")

With music that’s featured in just about every classic mafia movie, Pagliacci (Clowns) is one of the most touching and powerful combinations of music and theater ever to hit the stage. If you think opera is for ‘other folks’, think again! Love drives him crazy!

Sister Angelica

Nuns suffer too!
This brilliant jewel by master composer, Giacomo Puccini, is an incredible story about human weakness and struggle. A good woman’s mistake brings scorn and loss but she finds salvation in super-human faith. Love gives her power!

Eugene Onegin

The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!

When Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky (composer of The Nutcracker) set Aleksandr Pushkin’s novel to music, he created one of the very best Russian operas, Eugene Onegin.

It’s a classic tale of love and loss. When she loved him, he wasn’t interested. When he changed his mind, she had moved on. AO’s production of Eugene Onegin will be one of most exquisite operas ever presented in the Great Land – and the first Russian Opera produced by AO.

Love humbles the proud!

The Dark Night Series

Anchorage Opera goes indie!

Do you share that good ol’ Alaskan penchant for something different? Then you will love AO’s Dark Night Opera Shorts Series. This season, AO will present 3 stimulating and “artsy” one-act operas. These special operatic “shorts” are a great addition to AO’s regular season. Love can make you try something new and different!

We Salute You

Hosted by Colonel Eric S. Overturf, commander of Air Force Reserve Command's 477th Fighter Group, Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska. In We Salute You, AO General and Artistic Director Torrie Allen and leading Alaskan mezzo-soprano Nancy Caudill share a special evening of classic war-songs, Broadway, American folk songs (and a bit of opera!) in honor of Alaska’s men and women in uniform. Love can make you proud!

Net proceeds will benefit Alaskan Service Men and Women.

Presented by UAA Apprentices and the UAA Opera Ensemble

In the 1950s, Kismet (Fate) took Broadway by storm and it remains a classic. With delightfully romantic, charming music inspired by Russian composer Alexander Borodin, Kismet is an enchanting story about the life journey of a devoted father and his daughter. Love can last a lifetime!

This production will be performed by the talented apprentices of the University of Alaska, Anchorage under the direction of Dr. Mari Hahn.
