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."

Nashua Arts - Canadian Brass

The Kings of Brass are ready to make the holiday season merry and bright with Making Spirits Bright. This quintet never fails to delight with their winning combination of fabulous sound, engaging wit, popular programming, and top-notch showmanship. Making Spirits Bright includes original arrangements and signature takes on beloved holiday classics such as “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” “Charlie Brown Christmas,” “Silver Bells, “Songs of Hanukkah,” and “Jingle Bell Rock.” The spirit and sparkle of Canadian Brass has earned them a loyal legion of fans worldwide. “Nothing proclaims celebration and festivity like the sound of brass instruments. And if those instruments are played by Canadian Brass, there is even greater cause for celebration” (Toronto Star). 

A Celtic Holiday with Lúnasa

“The hottest Irish acoustic band on the planet” (The Irish Voice) returns to our stage for a lively and joyous Celtic holiday celebration! 

One of the most influential bands in the history of traditional music, Lúnasa has sold over a quarter of a million records and performed over 2,000 shows across 36 countries. Their complex arrangements and unique sound have reshaped the boundaries of traditional music and energized audiences the world over. Collaborations with singers Natalie Merchant, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, and Tim O’Brien and high-profile concerts at The Hollywood Bowl, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Glastonbury Festival, and Bercy Arena Paris have broadened the band’s audience and cemented its place at the forefront of contemporary Irish music.

Bull Run - David Nail: A Campfire Christmas Tour

“As impressive as it is felt, Nail’s robust, resonant tenor just might be country’s most limber and soulful this side of Ronnie Dunn.” ~ The Washington Post

David Nail’s candor cuts like a laser through star-making propriety, a ritual of predictable answers to predictable questions, recited by artists averse to the controversy that truth can bring.

True, he is respected up and down and beyond Music Row. He’s written or co-written multiple hits. Critics laud his singing too: The late, revered Chuck Dauphin, for one, marveled at Nail’s ability to turn an “ordinary lyric and arrangement” into a “tour de force,” adding, “simply put… he is not one of us.”

Bull Run - Porch Party Mamas

The Porch Party Mamas are an engaging and magnetic Boston-area band of four female musicians who've developed a fun and moving unique blend of folk, country, Celtic, and blues repertoire. They play beautiful arrangements of lovely and whimsical songs featuring dynamic lead vocals and lush harmonies backed by virtuosic guitar, fiddle, accordion, piano, percussion, banjo and bass playing.

Inspired by playing and singing each others songs at their own "porch parties", these musicians and singer/songwriters decided to combine their individual talents and create their own brand of Urban Folk, Country and Blues. They took their act on the road and "Porch Party Mamas" was born. All are seasoned players, each with their own pervasive individual music persona and critical accolades. Between them, they have shared the stage with a distinguished litany of artists, including Willie Nelson, the Indigo Girls and Lyle Lovett.
