Tonight and Sunday: Two Final Chances to See CYRANO!

Tomorrow: Join us for the Academy of Music Open House!

Only Two More Performances of the
Ultimate Romance CYRANO

"... utterly sincere, and affecting: a love story that comes from the heart." - The Washington Post "The opera wins your trust and keeps it." - The Philadelphia Inquirer

"OCP is to be commended for having the sheer bravery to present as much new opera as it does..." - The Philadelphia City Paper

Today, the Washington Post wrote an exciting story on composer David DiChiera and his new work Cyrano, calling it "... a new opera that feels old.... the music is melodious and tonal."  On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Inquirer headline read "New Cyrano defies the odds, scores a success." Now, you have just two chances left to see this romantic masterpiece that won't be performed again in 2008!

With Romanian baritone Marian Pop, who was praised as "almost too good: Even with his distended nose, he sings so well and commands the stage so effortlessly, you can't see why his beloved Roxane goes for anyone else" (Inquirer), and up-and-coming stars Evelyn Pollock and Stephen Costello co-starring, don't miss this romantic, new opera that will capture your heart!

Buy tickets for tonight at 8pm

Buy tickets for Sunday at 2:30pm
