Set in Great Britain’s idyllic Suffolk countryside, Benjamin Britten’s Albert Herring follows the story of a bashful and unsuspecting shopkeeper’s assistant who finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight. When the village’s annual May Queen ceremony lacks a virtuous candidate, Albert Herring is crowned the first-ever May King–a decision that sets the stage for a series of antics and unexpected transformations.
Filled with eccentric characters, a clever libretto and a touch of mischief, Britten’s opera explores societal norms, self-discovery and the power of individuality.

Set in Cuba in the 1990s, A Bicycle Country depicts the story of three Cubans as they each come to terms with the lack of opportunity and resources throughout the country as well as their own hopeless circumstances within the system. As each character looks for their own version of freedom: freedom from loneliness, freedom from stagnancy, and even freedom from one’s own body, they embark on a perilous journey to the United States aboard a precariously constructed homemade raft. Nilo Cruz’s A Bicycle Country delves into the complexity of love, sacrifice, hope and survival while also serving as a poignant narrative about finding freedom and moving forward.

High school student Emma Nolan, who wants to ask her girlfriend to the prom, faces resistance from the infuriated PTA, who calls for the cancellation of the event. Devastated by this decision, resented by her classmates and isolated for being a lesbian in a homophobic small town, Emma is taken by surprise when a group of Broadway actors arrives to support and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, coming to her “rescue.” During this protest, Emma discovers the courage to stand in her truth and be herself, despite the hatred pointed her way.
