Everyone’s favorite Scottish nanny is headed to Costa Mesa in an internationally acclaimed new hit musical critics call “wonderful, heart-warming, and laugh-out-loud funny” (Manchester Evening News) and “a feel-good, family-friendly comedy that delivers” (The Hollywood Reporter). Based on the beloved film and directed by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks, Mrs. Doubtfire tells the hysterical and heartfelt story of an out-of-work actor who will do anything for his kids. It’s “the lovable, big-hearted musical comedy we need right now,” raves the Chicago Tribune – one that proves we’re better together. |

http://www.operaphila.org/whats-on/in-theaters-2024-2025/the-listeners/ |
A thriller about the seductive power of cults and charismatic leaders from acclaimed collaborators Missy Mazzoli and Royce Vavrek.
The Listeners is a new opera that examines the lengths to which we, as Americans, are willing to go to find a sense of place and purpose, and the way confident, charming leaders can exploit these needs to their own ends.
A middle-class mother (soprano Nicole Heaston) living in a southwestern U.S. suburb notices a “hum,” a high-frequency environmental noise that only a select few people, the "Listeners,” can hear. A community organization quickly forms to solve the mystery of the hum, but when the de facto leader (Kevin Burdette) suggests a spiritual significance, the meetings become increasingly cult-like. Is this community of “Listeners” on a collision course with destruction?
American Premiere
Music by Missy Mazzoli
Libretto by Royce Vavrek
