Rodgers and Hammerstein's iconic musical about the Maria and the Von Trapp family is on a fresh North American tour. This new production is helmed by Jack O'Brien, who has promised to wipe away the "varnish" and dig down into the real drama that lies at the heart of the story. Featuring one of the greatest scores of all time, The Sound of Music is always the unmissable family show of the year.

Washington Opera present a brand-new, exciting restaging of Verdi's epic, Aida. Verdi's powerful music with parkour and modern dance in the background, the story of the two warring societies is giving a more relevancy that closely mirrors the Arab Spring. With brand-new visuals by RETNA and a more modernistic setting, everything you could want from an opera is here.
