Tristan and Isolde/Tristan et Isolde
Date(s): March 21st, 2026
Showtime: 9:00AM
After years of anticipation, a truly unmissable event arrives as the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagnerâs transcendent meditation on love and death. Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan. The momentous occasion also marks the advent of a new, Met-debut staging by Yuval Sharonâhailed by The New York Times as âthe most visionary opera director of his generationâ and the first American to direct an opera at the famed Wagner festival in Bayreuthâas well as Music Director Yannick NĂ©zet-SĂ©guinâs first time leading Tristan und Isolde at the Met. Mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprises her signature portrayal of BrangĂ€ne, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny, who sings Kurwenal after celebrated Met appearances in Wagnerâs Der Fliegende HollĂ€nder and Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Marke.
Running 4h 50m.
Midnight Desires
Date(s): April 10th, 2026
Showtime: 8:00 (ages 19+)
A night of longing, passion, and exploring our deepest desires. We’ll meet you in the dark. Night one of two completely different shows. MIDNIGHT DESIRES is the darker twin of Boudoir Rouge Burlesqueâs paired shows.
This is burlesque after hours.
An evening steeped in shadow and sensuality, Midnight Desires weaves together elegance, ache, power, and surrender. Expect bold, intimate burlesque that plays with tension and release, tease and curiosity.
Some acts will haunt you. Some will awaken something tender. And all will meet you exactly where desire lives; in the dark.
Dress code: Dress up. Wear the glam, the sultry, the suave… Come as you would for a midnight rendezvous đ
As always, Boudoir Rouge Burlesque is proud to give back. Proceeds from this show support a local charity, because caring for our community is part of who we are.
If you wish to attend both Midnight Desires and Slumber Party, follow this link to our discounted weekend pass. Double the burlesque, lighter on the wallet. https://WeekendPass.eventbrite.com
Eugene Onegin
Date(s): May 2nd, 2026
Showtime: 10:00AM
Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Pucciniâs Madama Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin. Baritone Igor Golovatenko reprises his portrayal of the urbane Onegin, who realizes his affection for her all too late. The Metâs evocative production, directed by Tony Awardâwinner Deborah Warner, âoffers a beautifully detailed reading of ⊠Tchaikovskyâs lyrical romanceâ (The Telegraph).
Running 3h 45m.
El Ultimo sueno de Frida y Diego
Date(s): May 30th, 2026
Showtime: 10:00AM
American composer Gabriela Lena Frank makes her Met debut with her first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexicoâs painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prizeâwinning playwright Nilo Cruz. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos Ălvarez. The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell. Yannick NĂ©zet-SĂ©guin conducts the Met premiere of Frankâs opera, a âconfident, richly imagined scoreâ (The New Yorker) that âbursts with color and fresh individualityâ (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diegoâs paintings, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker, following her remarkable 2024 debut staging of Ainadamar.
Running 2h 25m.
Barracuda – The Essential Tribute To HEART & Zeppelin
Date(s): October 4th, 2025
Showtime: 7:30PM
Barracuda – The Essential Tribute to HEART, a night filled with all the hits and energy of the legendary band!
Barracuda, a tribute to Heart, first hit the stage in 2011, and rapidly became the top Heart tribute in North America. In 2012, having heard rave reviews of Barracuda, Heartâs original lead guitarist and co-writer, Roger Fisher, drove from Seattle to Vancouver with brother Michael, Heartâs original manager and sound technician, and also the subject of the song âMagic Manâ to see Barracuda. Roger and Michael went on record saying that Barracuda was the best Heart tribute they had ever seen, and they had seen many. Roger was so impressed with Barracuda
that he made several special guest appearances with Barracuda, on both sides of the border.
Based in Vancouver, BC, Barracudaâs DL Car covers the vocals of Ann Wilson with absolute perfection, which is not an easy task. Her precision is nothing short of breath-taking. Sourced out of Portland, Oregon is Sarah Moon, who perfectly covers the vocals and guitar of Nancy Wilson. On lead guitar, keyboards and harmony vocals is Ray Roper, formerly of recording artists Stonebolt. Multi-instrumentalist Darryl Hebert plays keyboard, electric and acoustic guitars, keytar, banjo and mandolin. Mark Kenny, also a member of Nick Gilder and Sweeney Todd, plays bass, and veteran of many Vancouver-based bands, Doug Grant plays drums. In honoring Heartâs roots and history, Barracuda includes two or three Led Zeppelin classics in their set.
Barracuda captures the sound of Heart down to the finest detail both vocally and instrumentally, and have to be seen to be believed!
