Opera Santa Barbara's 2007/08 season is dedicated to Italian Passions. Our season will center around a Festival which will take place in February / March of 2008 and will feature three full staged operas. Opening the festival will be a double bill of Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana and Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. Accompanying them will be Opera Santa Barbara's first presentation of Donizetti's Elixir of Love. In addition to our productions, Opera Santa Barbara will continue our many educational outreach programs for both children and adults.
