Lucia di Lammermoor in Miami in November 2026
Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, with a libretto by Salvadore Cammarano, is set in the Scottish Highlands and follows the doomed love between Lucia and Edgardo as family conflict and political alliances drive the heroine into one of opera’s most famous mad scenes.

Don Giovanni Runs in Miami and Fort Lauderdale in Early 2027
Mozart’s Don Giovanni, with a libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte, portrays the exploits of the title character and his servant Leporello as a series of seductions and deceptions culminate in the death of a nobleman and a supernatural reckoning.
