2026-27 Season

Crazy in Love

"Crazy in Love," Opera Lafayette’s 32nd season, led by Artistic Director Patrick Quigley, invites you to revel in beauty, wit, and unapologetic charisma. Across three productions, we meet Cupid—the charming scamp who upends the best-laid plans, the Fool who exposes a self-important impostor, and Tito, the ruler whose mercy outshines revenge. From Baroque Versailles and 17th-century England to Classical Rome as imagined by the Enlightenment, these stories remind us that attraction is rarely straightforward — and that the most irresistible impulses are often the ones that carry the story deliciously off course.
