Syracuse Opera has revealed its 2023-2024 schedule, whose theme will highlight intimate portraits of hopes and dreams, at the first-ever opera and beer event in the organization’s history held at Harvey’s Garden.
Established in 1974, Syracuse Opera is the only year-round professional opera company, opening many doors for the Central New York music community.
Circling back to the theme of hopes and dreams, this decision on the upcoming season expects to generate momentum following Syracuse Opera’s 2022-2023 season, which recently ended with an acclaimed production of The Marriage of Figaro.
“It makes opera more accessible. It’s a fun way to invite people into our world, kick off the summer, and celebrate the future of opera in Syracuse.”
– John Rozzoni
The full 2023-2024 schedule spans from October 2023 – May 2024.

The season opens with I Am a Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams on October 20 at the Redhouse Arts Center in Syracuse, a showing that will focus on the compassion versus the dark side of our society.
Following this, December 15’s All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 will move all in attendance with a true story of an extraordinary night during World War I, sharing the instance when Allied and German soldiers set down their weapons and created peace with one another.
2024’s shows will kick off on Valentine’s Day weekend when a love story hits the Syracuse Opera stage in The Fantasticks, the longest-running musical in the organization’s history.
Concluding the season on April 28, 2024, the prequel to The Marriage of Figaro, called The Barber of Seville hits Crouse-Hinds Theater in an unforgettable ending to the opera’s season.
In addition to these four productions, Syracuse Opera will also host two other exciting musical events. On September 24, 2024, they will host Celebrating 75: An Andrew Lloyd Webber Revue, a night hosted by well-known composer Andrew Llyod Weber.
As previously mentioned, the opera and beer event will be held at Harvey’s Garden in May 2024, offering a relaxing approach to opera by giving the audience the chance to connect with performers.
John Rozzoni, General Director of Syracuse Opera, believes that the Opera and Beer event will be the perfect opportunity for the organization and community to interact face-to-face.
