The final month of the 2022-2023 Free Concert Series season is here! With six unique performances in May—and one on June 1—this month offers a fitting finale to an unforgettable season. 

Join us for performances by our mainstage opera artists, COC Ensemble Studio, and more!

Acclaimed Italian conductor Giuliano Carella leads the renowned COC Orchestra this spring for our production of Puccini’s classic opera, Tosca. 

In this new interview, Maestro Carella takes us through his top seven moments in Puccini’s soaring score.

Our spring season opens with Verdi’s searing adaptation of Macbeth, and while the highly anticipated production is new to the COC, it’s certainly not the first time that Shakespeare’s work has been featured on the COC stage!

In anticipation of Macbeth’s opening night on Friday, April 28, read on for a list of iconic COC operas that took their inspiration from the Bard’s great tragedies and comedies.
