Liberty City Arts presents “Opera meets Broadway” – Discover the surprising connections between the opera house and the Great White Way! Join us for a fascinating musical journey exploring how Broadway’s biggest hits draw inspiration from classical opera.

This dynamic 90-minute performance will showcase the remarkable parallels between operatic masterpieces and their Broadway counterparts. Experience the original arias from La Bohème alongside songs from Rent, hear the passion of La Traviata echoed in Moulin Rouge, and discover how centuries-old stories continue to captivate modern audiences through new musical languages.

Our accomplished vocalists and pianists will guide you through these musical conversations, performing both classical arias and contemporary Broadway numbers that share common themes, stories, and even melodies. Whether you’re drawn to the grandeur of opera or the energy of musical theater, this unique concert bridges both worlds.

Set in the welcoming atmosphere of Liberty Lands, this outdoor performance offers an accessible exploration of how timeless human stories transcend musical genres and centuries.

Families and children are warmly welcome, with special activity booklets available for younger audience members to track the musical connections!
