Don Giovanni
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Sung in Italian with English Surtitles
Mozart’s masterpiece tells the story of a handsome playboy, Don Giovanni, as he blazes a path to his own destruction in a single day. He’s loved by women as much as he loves them, but his disregard for decency catches up with him. In the end, supernatural forces exact the final punishment and, for the first time, the Don cannot outwit fate.

Carmen
Georges Bizet
Sung in French with English Surtitles
Bold, uninhibited, and strong-willed, Carmen lives life on her own terms. She is brave, beautiful, and independent. She does what she wants. She falls in and out of love. She is a power to behold until her obsessed ex violently and tragically rejects her choice to move on.

Love has many faces when buddies don disguises for the ultimate ‘loyalty test’ of their fiancées. Cleverly concealed and with wily determination, who will come out on top in this comic battle of the sexes?
