Since AVA’s last live performance in February 2020, we felt the most appropriate way to kick off our new season with a concert of exciting opera moments! This concert will feature Act III of Verdi’s Rigoletto, Act II of Puccini’s La bohème, and ensembles from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Thomas’ Mignon, Lehár’s The Merry Widow, Beethoven’s Fidelio, and Rossini’s The Barber of Seville. A Celebration of Opera! will feature the AVA Opera Orchestra with Maestro Christofer Macatsoris and guests conducting. Please note program is subject to change

Final Performance: November 30, 2021 at Centennial Hall at the Haverford School – 450 Lancaster Ave, Haverford, PA 19041. For this performance, vaccination cards are required, and masks are highly encouraged.
