Every year, we plan a series of special events where, as a START, Enjoy the Arts, or Passport member, you can come and meet other members and experience the arts as a group, plus get a behind-the-scenes look or have a light bite to eat together. They happen about once a month. Reservations are needed for member events. Don't miss out.
Cincinnati Opera
After receiving much acclaim in Houston, Seattle, and Los Angeles, Mexican composer Daniel Catán's Florencia en el Amazonas with its lush, romantic music and stunning sets will make its first voyage east to Cincinnati's stage. Inspired by the "magic realism" work of Gabriel García Márquez, the opera tells the story of Florencia Grimaldi, a famous European diva, who takes a steamboat journey down the Amazon River, returning home to give a concert and search for the man whose love gave her a voice. During her journey, Florencia encounters a number of interesting characters on the boat: a young couple in love, an older couple attempting to reignite love, the young reporter Rosalba, and the mythological Riolobo. Although the voyage is ultimately thwarted due to a cholera epidemic, the events of the journey provide valuable self-discovery for the passengers.
