The Olympia Chamber Orchestra presents a concert of operatic excerpts, featuring 8 singers from Olympia Opera Theatre!

The title of the concert (Mêlons! Coupons!) translates to “Shuffle! Cut the deck!” and comes directly from one of our excerpts for this concert, from Bizet’s Carmen. This concert is a “shuffling” of excerpts from operas by Mozart, Bizet, Humperdinck, and Massenet. Everyone can find a story that resonates with them in the operatic repertoire. These excerpts cover fantastical stories of magic and dreams, as well as real-world, gritty stories of love, passion, and forgiveness. Whether you can sing the tunes by heart, or have never heard opera before, this music can be exciting, heart-wrenching, and meaningful.
