The new season is tuning up.
Tosca
Giacomo Puccini
A painter, a diva, and a tyrant. Three lives wound together by jealousy and desire until the knife falls and the music swells into something unbearable and beautiful. The final act will leave the hall in silence for four full seconds before anyone dares applaud.
Sung in Italian · English supertitles · Running time 2h 45m
The soprano will crack open the room like a struck bell.
Handel's Messiah
George Frideric Handel
Every December, two thousand people rise to their feet as one for the Hallelujah chorus — not because tradition demands it, but because the music makes standing the only possible response. This year, the period orchestra plays on original instruments. The sound will be older, stranger, and more alive.
Period orchestra · Full chorus · Running time 2h 30m
Two thousand people will stand without being asked.
Mahler's Fifth
Gustav Mahler
The Adagietto is the most dangerous four minutes in classical music — quiet enough to make you aware of your own heartbeat, long enough to change the shape of the evening. The Fifth begins with a trumpet call that sounds like fate arriving and ends somewhere close to joy.
Full symphony orchestra · No intermission · Running time 1h 10m
The season opens whether you're there or not.
Be there.
Where the ordinary
falls away.
Since 1947, Overture has been the city's living room for the transcendent — the place where a Tuesday evening becomes a memory you carry for the rest of your life. Our hall was built not just for acoustics but for that collective inhale when the lights go down and two thousand strangers become one held breath.
Our season is curated around a single belief: that great music doesn't just entertain — it reorganizes the furniture of your interior life. The names etched in our donor walls belong to people who understood this first.
