The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happ'ly-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
On December 3, 1960, these words were sung for the first time in New York premiere of Camelot. A winner of four Tony Awards, this lovely retelling of The Once and Future King by T. H. White was written by collaborators Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. For some it is a fairy tale with a bittersweet ending while others see the Arthurian legend as a part of history. A favorite of President John F. Kennedy, the work often defined his administration and ideals. For all you've loved and lost...don't miss Camelot.
Originally conceived by legendary movie director Peter Brook along with Marius Constant, La Tragedie de Carmen does for Bizet's famous opera, Carmen, what Baz Luhrmann did for La Boheme.

It contains all of the original and popular arias and duets that you love. This will be an unforgettable evening! BOTH PERFORMANCES AT THE IMPERIAL THEATRE LOCATED AT 745 BROAD STREET, AUGUSTA GA
Pagliacci is the 14th most-performed opera in North America according to Opera America. This very popular opera was first performed in 1893 and unfolds the tragedy of a jealous husband, his wife and her lover in a Commedia dell’ Arte troupe. A traditional tale about love and betrayal Pagliacci contains many beautiful and familiar melodies. The aria “Vesti La Giubba” which concludes Act One, became one of Enrico Caruso’s signature recordings when Pagliacci became the first opera ever recorded in 1907. Since that time, this poignant aria has been used in movies, television and recordings and the character Pagliacci is used to epitomize the sad clown. Ring down the curtain with Pagliacci.
