Home Is Where the Heart Is: Presented with Opera On Tap Maine

Opera on Tap Maine and Thomas Memorial Library present “Home Is Where the Heart Is”, featuring our Maine singers who find themselves quarantined in other states, from Connecticut, to Texas, all the way to California. Our fabulous cast have appeared on stages across the country, as young artists with opera companies, behind the microphone at comedy clubs, as members of national touring productions, even in one of the most iconic shows on Broadway! We will gather for an evening of music that runs the gamut from classic opera and art song, beloved Broadway show tunes, jazz standards, even a little Disney. Sometimes the worlds of opera and musical theater can be divided, but here at Opera on Tap Maine, we celebrate our differences, and know we are better

Handel's Susanna

The thirteenth chapter of the book of Daniel, considered apocryphal in Protestant tradition, tells how, during the captivity of the Jews in Babylon, a virtuous young woman was falsely accused of sexual promiscuity by two elders of the community who lusted after her themselves. The prophet Daniel exposed the two elders as liars and vindicated Susanna.

Join the Oratorio Society of Richmond for a special performance on International Women's Day.

To Celebrate the Need

An evening of vocal music composed by Peter Dayton, featuring some of the finest musical talents of the mid-Atlantic. Come join Peter on his 30th birthday to celebrate the need of friendship and comrades during the coldest, darkest season. A journey of music for soloists, and TTBB ensembles, setting texts by Paul Blackburn, William Bronk, A.E. Housman, Walt Whitman, and W. B. Yeats, presented as always at Studio 5N.

Suggested donation at the door: $15, all proceeds go to the performers.

GRINDR: The Opera

Book, Music, Lyrics by Erik Ransom

GRINDR: The Opera puts the most notorious gay hook-up app into the exaggerated world of opera. With musical styles ranging from baroque to contemporary pop, GRINDR: The Opera is a daring, humorous look at the changing landscape of gay relationships, and the greatest catalyst for the shift.
