Opera51 - Don Giovanni

Don Giovanni - December 21 and 22, 2024

This is one of Mozart's most popular and enduring operas, presented in our continuing tradition of offering non-holiday fare during the holidays to enrich your season.  Performed in concert version with full orchestra, sung in Italian with projected English titles.

Audience Praise for Opera51 Productions

Comments received from Turandot attendees match the palpable audience enthusiasm felt in the hall:

"Congrats on a splendid, compelling production of Turandot! The Princess and Calaf were first rate, the 3 Ps delightful, and the rest of the cast and orchestra fully up to the task. The semi-staging and use of the space and its features were totally convincing. Two months ago we went to New York to see the Met’s luscious Zeffirelli production before it is retired. In all sincerity, we enjoyed Opera51’s production just as much and in some respects even more."

"My wife and I went to Friday night’s performance. We had no expectations, but it was GREAT! We were really impressed with the quality of the singing and the orchestra. We are very used to the Met’s Zeffirrelli production, but the intimacy of Opera51 allowed us to focus more on the music and not the grandiosity."

Bull Run - Don White's Annual Birthday Show

03-08-2025 8:00 pm

There is no one word for what Don White does. He is equal parts storyteller-comedian-author- troubadour-folk singer-songwriter, and has been bringing audiences to laughter and tears for 30 years. White’s arc as an award-winning songwriter and performer has taken him from his industrial hometown of Lynn, MA across the country as hitchhiker, through Boston’s comedy clubs and coffeehouses and onto the stage with greats like Arlo Guthrie, Taj Mahal, Ritchie Havens, Patty Larkin, Bill Morrissey, Tom Rush, Louden Wainright III and Christine Lavin, with whom he toured for 8 years all across North America in a co-bill called The Funny Side of the Street. At every point, White has been the ultimate observer, infusing his work with his experiences as a husband, a father, a seeker, and a joker.
