"This 1904 work is based on John Luther Long's short story "Madame Butterfly" and recounts the love story that surmounts cultural hurdles, but ends in tragedy."
"Lyrical Opera Theater's Rigoletto is an ingenious and novel approach to something that is familiar to many audiences."
"Stepping into the recently renovated Midvale Performing Arts Center, I was totally unprepared for the opulent staging of Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata, mounted by Lyrical Opera Theater. My amazement continued through the whole of the two and a half hour (including 3 intermissions) production, as a very talented cast brought 1850's Paris to life. Utilizing projected supertitles, the LOT players makes the Italian tale of love, betrayal, parental interference, and redemption accessible and understandable. Clear phrasing, splendid costuming, and purposeful, expressive blocking allows the audience to connect with a litany of familiar characters and be transported to the raucous but precisely mannered party."
Lyrical Opera Theater is the proud winner of the 2018 Best of the West in the area of Arts & Entertainment, a business competition that spanned the entire west side of the Salt Lake valley. Thank you to all of our friends, family and fabulous artists for your enduring faith and support of us and for making this possible!
"So, the opera is not just a place for fancy coat-tailed-monocle-wearing gents or phantoms anymore. Feel free to take your whole family to see Falstaff at the Lyrical Opera Theater. I bet if you do you will leave with a smile on your face, and I personally look forward to seeing many more shows there and having many more laughs, gasps, tears, and sighs to share."
