Join us on Saturday January 23rd, as MassOpera and Opera on Tap present a fun-filled and boozy evening featuring cast members from The Beautiful Bridegroom. We’ll banish those mid-winter doldrums with a pre-game dating show and watch-party of Dan Shore’s uproarious Opera The Beautiful Bridegroom.

ABOUT THE OPERA – The Beautiful Bridegroom follows Terentia, a widow with two daughters of marrying age, as she looks for a spouse…not for her daughters, but for herself!  Realizing that Terentia is not being sensible, the cheeky matchmaker, Madam Kirsten, hatches a plot to get Terentia on the right track.  

Join us for the pre-show, Saturday, January 23rd at 7 PM, followed by the broadcast at 8 PM. The total running time for this is approximately 2 hours, including both the pre-show and the broadcast.

For obvious reasons, we’re thinking way outside the box this year when it comes to Messiah Sings. Led by conductor Michael Pfitzer, Opera On Tap, Chorus Pro Musica, and the Harvard-Radcliffe Chorus are teaming up with the Driveway Choir to sing together safely. You can join us live and sing from your car in a parking lot in Boxborough, Massachusetts (near exit 28 of Route 495).

How It Works

• Singers use wireless microphones from inside their cars

• We use an audio mixer to combine their voices into a choir sound

• We broadcast it on a low-power FM radio station so that everyone can hear
