The SAS Mainstage Opera is committed to presenting performances of acknowledged masterpieces and rarely performed works that deserve a more extensive hearing. We also introduce the brilliant talents of emerging artists alongside professional opera singers. Our season comprises complete concert operas, complete acts and scene programs in our Opera Act by Act program, young audience events, and individual artist recitals, all of which promise a high-quality and memorable experience. 

​

Prepare to be captivated in September as the SAS Concert Opera presents "An Enchanting Opera Masque: An Evening of Iconic Opera Scenes." Our singers will perform music by Bizet, Mozart, Offenbach, Verdi, Puccini, Poulenc, and R. Strauss. Immerse yourself in this enchanting music's luxurious sounds and prepare for an evening of excitement and anticipation.

 

In October, if you're a fan of classic horror, Gian Carlo Menotti's The Medium. This one-hour "melodrama" is about a fake psychic whose surprise encounter with the unknown leads to murder and mayhem. This will be a double bill with Philip Grecian's adaptation of "Dracula". An afternoon that will hold you spellbound.  

 

SAS Annual Vocal Competition is becoming one of the go-to events for young singers. In the six years of this competition, our winners have gone on to perform with such prestigious companies as the Paris Opera, the Washington Concert Opera, the San Francisco Opera, and the Metropolitan Opera. It promises to be an afternoon of high excitement and stellar singing.  

SAS Performing Arts Company Opera focuses its efforts to promote the operatic art form by bringing this music for audiences to enjoy thus enriching our community's cultural life.  All operas are

performed in their original languages.  The exhilarating connection generated between music, text, and drama will become more immediate in this intimate atmosphere.
