ONE STAGE. ONE NIGHT. A LIFETIME OF MUSIC.
Verdi didn't write small music. He wrote thunder, heartbreak, love, and triumph—the sound of every emotion turned all the way up. Experience the full range of Verdi’s genius in one night filled with arias that stop time and choruses that shake the rafters, with “greatest hits” selections from Il Trovatore, Rigoletto, La Traviata, Aida, and more. Feel the glory wall to wall with soloists whose voices match Verdi's ambition, the power of the Cincinnati Opera Chorus, and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in the pit. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself shouting Viva Verdi!
