ARTS + CULTURE OPERA ROANOKE OPERA ROANOKE Opera Roanoke's 48th season features music by Richard Strauss in a concert of operatic and orchestral splendor that simply must be experienced to be believed. Nothing compares to the soaring melodic lines and sumptuously opulent harmonies of Richard Strauss at his operatic best. Audiences will hear excerpts from Der Rosenkavalier, Ariadne auf Naxos and the incomparable Four Last Songs. In March 2024, Opera Roanoke will produce a fully staged performance of Mozart's classic tale of love and class, The Marriage of Figaro. Full of laughter and tender moments, this opera is fun for everyone. More information on these performances and other Opera Roanoke events can be found at operaroanoke.org.
