Maryland Opera celebrates the holidays with Sounds of the Season featuring stellar young artists performing operatic and holiday favorites.  Each year, in celebration of both opera and the season, we present the most famous Christmas Eve in opera: the Act 1 Finale of Puccini's La Bohème.  These beloved arias and duet set the scene for a magical night of love and goodwill.  

The Friday night performance in the Boordy Vineyards Barn will also feature a new holiday tradition, an ugly sweater contest.  Wear your best ugly holiday sweater to be entered to win a bottle of Boordy wine!  Come dressed to mingle and spread holiday cheer while you enjoy a delicious glass of Boordy wine in their beautifully renovated barn.   

You cannot have a great city or state without great culture. Opera is a cultural gem, built on generations of rich history, steeped in traditions of artistic excellence, and beloved by passionate audiences.

Maryland Opera celebrates opera and is committed to bring the beauty and excitement of live opera to audiences of all ages and backgrounds throughout the state of Maryland.

Maryland Opera offers quality opera performances, innovative artistry, support for social awareness and change, education and outreach programming, commitment to underserved communities, and a vehicle for talented young vocalists to follow their dreams. Dedicated to long-term financial sustainability, Maryland Opera aspires to become the premier opera organization in Maryland!
