Florida Grand Opera’s 2025-26 season brings together three operatic powerhouses, each offering a bold vision, emotional depth and musical brilliance. From the battlefields of World War I to the glittering ballrooms of Vienna and the imperial palaces of ancient China, this season explores the spectrum of human experience.
The season opens with Silent Night, a Pulitzer Prize-winning opera that captures the extraordinary true story of the 1914 Christmas Eve truce. As soldiers lay down arms to share a moment of peace, music becomes the common language of hope, even amid war. A co-production with The Atlanta Opera, Silent Night is a moving and visually arresting work that speaks powerfully to our time.
Next, Johann Strauss II’s Die Fledermaus takes the stage in a dazzling production that stays true to its Viennese roots while offering many surprises that will resonate with South Florida audiences. This glittering operetta is filled with mistaken identities, champagne-fueled schemes and infectious waltzes. Expect elegance, satire and an evening of joyous theatricality with a local flair.
The season culminates with Puccini’s Turandot, a grand spectacle of passion, sacrifice and mystery. With its soaring score and iconic aria “Nessun dorma,” this timeless masterpiece transports audiences to an imperial realm where riddles decide fate and love defies fear.
