Internationally acclaimed opera stars lead a thrilling production of revenge, murder and dark humor in Opera Maine’s dramatically compelling summer finale.

Composer Gregory Spears, whose work includes “Fellow Travelers”, will be at both performances this month and will participate in a conversation following performances with conductor Lance Inouye, director Richard Gammon, artistic director Dona D. Vaughn and members of the cast.

Everyone’s invited to “Sweeney Todd” and “Paul’s Case” this summer, along with year-round programming that shows off the power of opera.
