We collaborate closely with Albright College, whose students will perform substantially all the roles in Hänsel & Gretel this Fall at the Miller Center for the Arts. Berks Opera will provide vocal and musical training for the cast, stage direction, sets, costumes, props, a chamber orchestra, musical direction, and generally be responsible for the overall production. The Albright students involved will receive course credit for their participation.

Recent Performances

"These Valleys and Mountains: Berks Legends" 2022

A new opera by Chris Heslop, with libretto by Vicki Haller Graff, and direction by Joel Richard Gori. Performed at the Miller Center for the Arts at RACC on June 17, 2022. Mountain Mary left a legacy of loving spirituality and profound healing. Matthias Schaumbacher left the opposite: a legend of greed and violence. How have the seeds planted in the stories of these two people, who lived such different lives, grown in this place we call home?

"DaPonte" 2016

Opera about the extraordinary life of Mozart's eccentric librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte. Libretto by Vicki Haller Graff, Composed by Chris Heslop. Vocalists: Tamara Black: soprano, Maria Damore: alto, Matt Mangus: tenor, Zach Luchetti: baritone; Orchestra: Lars Potteiger: piano, Tom Hilliker: bass, Chris Heslop: saxophone, flute, conductor.
