Handel’s Messiah
Opera Laguna’s holiday tradition returns with a new chapter. Handel’s Messiah has always carried the spirit of opera within it, filled with love, loss, struggle, and redemption. This year, OL continues to lean into that drama, shaping the work as a journey that speaks to our time. The evening includes choreography by Kia Smith and the acclaimed South Chicago Dance Theatre. Their movement brings Handel’s music to life in ways that are both surprising and deeply moving, creating an experience that is as theatrical as it is uplifting.

Tonio in Pagliacci
Pagliacci is a gripping Italian opera by Ruggero Leoncavallo that tells the tragic story of a traveling clown, Canio, whose heartbreak and jealousy erupt during a performance when he discovers his wife’s betrayal. Blurring the line between theater and reality, the opera climaxes in a shocking finale where art and life collide.
