IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
DO I HAVE TO DRESS UP?
Opera in 2024 is “come as you are.” Sure, you’ll see some fancy outfits, especially on opening night, and if that’s your vibe, have fun with it! Otherwise, just wear what makes you feel good. In Tulsa, you’ll see everything from ballgowns to cowboy boots.
WILL I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PERFORMERS ARE SINGING?
You don’t need to speak a foreign language to enjoy the opera! Each performance is presented with supertitles — English translations projected above the stage. This performance is entirely sung and spoken in French!
