One of the many fun parts of #BxOAriadne is getting to watch during intermission when our amazing make up artist Brittany Lowery transforms Harlequin, Scaramuccio, Brighella, and Truffaldino into their masked commedia dell’arte selves. This show never stops entertaining you, even between acts! ✨️
There's only one more chance to see this spectacular opera -- this Sunday, 5/10 @ 2:30pm -- don't miss it!
Tickets are available at our.show/BxOAriadne + at the box office 🎭

Bravi tutti to our #BxOAriadne cover cast (and a special bravi to our conductor @absoluttenor , our orchestra @pnojai , and our stage manager @lisl.wangermann.soprano , without whom none of this would have been possible)! It takes a village to put on this gargantuan show!
