A Note from our
Vice President
 Northeast
Florida’s home based opera company, First Coast Opera, is excited to
present a diversified and exciting Season for 2007-2008! We invite
you to experience opera’s many expressions with our professional
productions staged at various local venues.
Our Season will open with Cabaret
Parisien in November at the Bishop Baker Parish Center! Four
wonderful evenings available to choose from, offering French music,
dance, hors d’oeuvres and soupcon of Gallic whimsy!
In January, we present Master Class,
a dramatic production of a life in opera as lived by the
extraordinary Maria Callas. This mature show will play at St.
Augustine’s Limelight Theater and will offer a new dimension to
audiences interested in the dramatic and academic side of opera.
March and April bring one of the most
loved Gilbert and Sullivan musical productions: The Pirates of Penzance!
This production will invite you to music, laughter and enthusiastic
comedy at the Pedro Menendez Performing Arts Center adjacent to the
Pedro Menendez High School on State Road 206.
May will close out the
season with Addio! A Farewell Concert For Barbara Norris.
This concert will feature our founder singing many of her favorites
from over the years with First Coast Opera. Many other performers
from over our first eight years will also sing highlights from past
shows, as well as some new songs and arias. Many genres will be
included, like opera, show tunes, standards and more. Addio!
will be performed at the St. John's Country Center For The Arts at
the St. Augustine High School.
As you can see, we are offering
something for everyone and many will want to attend all four…Call
now for your tickets….and we hope you will consider joining our
“Circle of Thousands” donor category, new this year. A donation of
$1000.00 or more, specified for this “Circle” will help to guarantee
