TANNHƒUSER is a unique and
powerful dramatic opera in three acts with music and text by Richard Wagner.

and his relationships with the goddess Venus and a pure young maiden.
Tickets are available for $15, $25, and $45, and can be purchased at
tannhauser2015.org.

York opera scene by connecting new performers with new audiences. They create
affordable, fully-staged, English-language productions of large-scale works to
make opera more accessible to a wider audience. Opera is hot when its stars
shine brightly and Apotheosis productions give some of New York’s most
talented young performers the game-changing opportunity to sing big roles for
the first time. The upcoming production of Tannh‰user will largely
feature college students, recent graduates, and other emerging artists in its
cast and creative team.
