Boston Summer Opera

After three wonderful seasons being fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas, Boston Summer Opera is OFFICIALLY our very own nonprofit! We are so excited for this next chapter and grateful to everyone who made this possible. 🧡

Bonus: it is even easier to donate to (the other) BSO now: boston-summer-opera.com/donate

Stay tuned for more exciting announcements coming very soon!

Thank you to everybody who made our first Open Mic Night so wonderful! An extra big shout-out goes to our pianists Maria Rabbia and Kevin Lubin, as well as the Arts at the Armory for hosting us. 🎶💛

Stay tuned for more special - and free! - community events like this!

MILLE GRAZIE to the 400+ audience members who came to our production of The Barber of Seville! We are so grateful that we got to perform for such enthusiastic and supportive audiences. 💙

Also, we had a wonderful first ever Open Mic night with Little Songbook Opera and are looking forward to Opera Happy Hour with Guerilla Opera, which will be scheduled for September. Stay tuned -- the summer isn't over yet! ☀️

Our closing performance of The Barber of Seville this afternoon is OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT! There will be NO tickets available at the front door, as the venue will be fully at capacity.

We had an amazing opening night performance in Wellesley, with an enthusiastic audience of over 230! We're so happy to share this wonderful show and our artists' hard work one more time. 💈🧡🎶

Thank you for the feature, WBUR 90.9 FM! 🤗

Come see The Barber of Seville this Saturday and Sunday! 💈🎶

5 things to do this weekend, including the NorthEast Tea Festival and 'Better Angels' pop-up Plus, Porchfest in Jamaica Plain and a lively production of "The Barber of Seville."

Here are our wonderful chorus members for The Barber of Seville! 🎶💈

Rossini originally wrote this chorus only for tenors and basses. However, we've decided to include sopranos and altos, making this a full and inclusive chorus! 🧡

For Saturday's performance in Wellesley, this chorus will be joined by our brand-new Wellesley Community Chorus -- an unauditioned chorus made up of local singers from all sorts of walks of life!

Come hear them in The Barber of Seville on August 22 & 23! Tickets are available here: boston-summer-opera.com/barber-2026

Meet our valiant creative team making our enormous production of The Barber of Seville happen! 💈🧡🎶

Opening night is THIS SATURDAY! Get your tickets here: boston-summer-opera.com/barber-2026
