TESTIMONIALS

The passion, the feeling, the emotion, the music, everything!
I could not believe what I was experiencing!
What a show! I’m now a fan!
– Dan M., AM800 cklw

When you hear the term opera, the mental picture conjured is of boring Brunhildas hollering in foreign languages. That is NOT Abridged Opera. Abridged Opera is just that, abridged, with all the boring stuff edited out, leaving you with highly entertaining musical storytelling performed by top-rate singer/actors and, best of all, they’re local. There are often subtitles and a narrator to help move the story along, and, much of the music might sound vaguely familiar, especially for fans of Bugs Bunny. Mel Blanc used a lot of opera in his bunny tales. If you haven’t been to an Abridged Opera performance yet, give it a try. I guarantee you’ll be blown away.

Inspiring, thrilling, and entrancing are words that only begin to describe the works of Abridged Opera. Through dedicated artists and timeless pieces, Abridged Opera fills a gap in the community for the performing arts. The cast and crew always succeed at giving audience members an appreciation for music and a sense of belonging. If you are looking for a new lease on life, look no further than Abridged Opera.
