At Verismo Opera Theater, our slogan is “OPERA ROCKS!”, and with good reason! Who can listen to “Di Quella Pira”, Rossini’s “William Tell” Overture, or the Gypsy dance from Carmen and not have their heart racing with excitement? Opera was the original Rock music before the invention of the Stratocaster and Wah-wah pedal.

Come and join VOT as we kick off 2013 with a BANG! We proudly present: “OperaRocks: An Unconventional Classical Gala”. This event will blow the lid off. We will crank out only the greatest hits – turned all the way up to 11! Featuring stars of VOT’s past productions of Magic Flute and various other surprises.

Verismo Opera Theater was founded by Artistic Director Bradley Schuller in 2010. The Mission of VOT is to engage audiences by producing relevant, truthful, and emotionally direct performances. This season, VOT presents OperaRocks in April, a fully staged production of La Traviata by Verdi in August (set in Oak Park with a Frank Lloyd Wright theme), and Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde in November with a signature VOT ‘wildcard’ twist.

RFD by Rachel Frank is a contemporary women’s wear clothing line specializing in edgy, yet sensuous dresses and dramatic accessories.
