Opera Santa Barbara

The Lobero Theatre was built for opera. 150 years later, that's still exactly what it's for.
Rigoletto comes to the Lobero this November. The Barber of Seville in February. And the California premiere of Riders of the Purple Sage in April. For the first time this season, all three productions include a weeknight performance. Tickets from $35.

Sharing this article below about this wonderful Donizetti opera receiving it's AMERICAN PREMIER only two centuries later after it was written by our friends Pacific Opera Project.

Not only is this an incredible opportunity for to view this opera's very first American performance, but you'll recognize so many of the artists that have worked and performed with us here at OSB.

Can you spot them?

Opening night is September 4th! In bocca al lupo tutti!

After Two Centuries of Obscurity, Donizetti Opera Receives its American Premiere in L.A. Pacific Opera Project will mount the American premiere of Il fortunato inganno from Sept. 4-13.

Santa Barbara does not need our help, but we're going to brag anyway. Rigoletto is coming to the Lobero Theatre this November. The Barber of Seville in February. An American opera, Riders of the Purple Sage, in April.

And for the first time, two of our productions have a weeknight performance. Tickets from $35.

It's just a show.

Except it's two-plus hours of someone pouring their entire soul out on stage.

Except you'll cry at something you didn't expect.

Except you'll leave feeling like you lived ten lifetimes in one night.

But of course. "Just a show."
