2023-2024 Season Announced!

It’s the anticipation of an orchestra tuning and the thrill of the performance. It’s the momentum of a dancer flying across the stage in a gravity-defying leap. It’s the deep sorrow you feel in the final moments of a heart-wrenching operatic performance and the calm reflection that follows. Nothing moves us like the performance arts. We can’t wait to share another soul-stirring season with you!

The Paul Simon Songbook

An evening of music from the legendary Paul Simon explores his unique artistry as a songwriter from his years with Simon and Garfunkel through his solo albums Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints. Songs include Bridge Over Troubled Water, Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard, The Sound of Silence, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Graceland, and Rhythm of the Saints. All arrangements are fully orchestrated by Jeff Tyzik.

Season Opening Celebration

The 2023–24 season opens with a bang: a grand masquerade! All three art forms—DPAA’s Opera, Philharmonic, and Ballet—take the stage in an evening of extravagant celebration. At the heart of the performance is Act II from Strauss’s comic opera, Fledermaus (Revenge of the Bat). The scene is Prince Orlofsky’s party, where disguises and deception abound, and the champagne never stops. Join the party—you never know who is going to show up!
