North Carolina Opera Tickets

Faust, Mephistophles and Marguerite were WONDERFUL! They were very talented and sang beautifully. Mephistophles was acted to perfection. The entire cast did an outstanding job. I would have preferred period costumes, but considering the hard economic times, I can certainly understand that they would need to save money. The production and the singing was so good that you really didn't notice the modern dress after a while. The idea to have the supertitle screen also convey part of the story added a lot. NC Opera is fabulous and we are lucky to have such events here in the Triangle.

The singers were excellent! The orchestra sounded great. The video of the eye was very creative and made it more interesting since it wasn't a fully staged opera. Thanks for an entertaining evening. My husband and I really enjoyed it.

great singing, great orchestra, poor stage props and costumes

It was a great show with engaging visual effects. Our party enjoyed the orchestra and performers greatly.

This was my very first opera, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will certainly be back again. It has been a long overdue addition to my cultural scene.

wonderful production. Very well done and beautiful singers.

This performance was simply magnificent. The entire cast contributed to the success of the entire production. Cynthia Lawrence and Grant Youngblood were riveting. The scenery was the best ever seen here in NC, this made a substantial difference in the staging. All the voices were melodious, and the acting was stellar. Timothy Myers is simply amazing. He conducts the orchestra (which, as always, was fabulous) with such passion and expertise which really makes the entire production a genuine joy both to see and to hear. What a joy it is to have the "new" North Carolina Opera Company providing us with such opportunities to enjoy the operas in such a manner that the Metropolitan in New York seems to have been transferred here to Raleigh.

The debut performance from the new NC opera company was wonderful. Cynthia Lawrence came from the Met to play the title role of Tosca. I especially enjoyed the NC native (blanking on name) in the role of Scarpio. Overall great professional performance. We are so fortunate to have such a fine opera company in our back yard. Go see an opera!

The intermissions were too long, especially the second intermission. The last act is short, and they could have had a long pause instead for the scenery change. The performance was not over until 11:00 p.m.

This was my first opera and I was very impressed and the show was most enjoyable.

It was my first full opera I have ever seen! I have been listening to opera for a long time... Never have I ever seen nor heard anything so amazing... Thank you for making the night unforgettable!

I hope the new opera company keeps doing what they did with this production of TOSCA. The music was sensational and the singing truly world-class. The scenes were elegantly produced and performed. Well worth the standing ovation at the end.

Opera has arrived in North Carolina. This performance of a timeless classic was perfection with fabulous guest artists and home-grown local talent weaving a seamless magic of drama and music. I can't wait to see what this company does next!
