A tale of ill-fated love. In Delibes’ sumptuous opera, Lakmé, the daughter of a priest, falls hopelessly in love with the British officer Gerald, who, unwittingly breaking a sacred taboo, seals their fate. Including one of opera’s loveliest and most famous duets, Lakmé is a romantic treasure.

Let your hair down. Figaro, Seville’s quick-witted barber, helps a young woman flee an unsuitable suitor and find true love. Naturally, nothing goes according to plan, and Figaro must think on his feet to save the day. The Barber of Seville features instantly recognizable music that sparkles in this razor-sharp, irresistible rom-com.

Make your connection. Eight strangers find they have more in common than they think.
