Hello friends of SDO and BARN OPERA! We are sorry for our absences over the past few months, but we are back for one last SDO production, and this recording will be one you won’t want to miss! Next Friday, July 9th, at 6:30 PM EST, join us and our stellar cast for a laugh riot in Verdi’s last opera, Falstaff. Our cast party will be streamed live to Facebook, so make sure to join us with a beverage, and questions for our team. Then, immediately following the cast party, our full recording will be released to all of our social media accounts and our website.

We can’t thank you all enough for joining us over the course of the pandemic to enjoy all of these productions, our talented musicians, and helping to keep opera alive during these turbulent times. We are sad to end this project, but this is a very rare blessing, because we can once again start to make music together, live, and in person! So, make sure to follow us over at BARN OPERA, and see what live shows will be happening very soon. Who knows, maybe we will get to see these wonderful SDO recordings come to life some time in the future.

Barn Opera/Social Distance Opera is bringing you an operatic surprise! Please join us Halloween night for the world premiere of a brand new Jarrar/Goodwin composition: Patience & Pearl. The work is loosely based on the story of Pearl Curran, a real 20th-century medium who channeled the words and poetry of her supposed ghost Patience Worth. In this updated, contemporary filmed production, Pearl is a blogger that enlists the help of the supernatural to assist with her earthly responsibility. Underneath the seasonally appropriate ghost story facade is a touching story of how two women give each other voices they independently never had.

Felix Jarrar: Music Director/Pianist
Bea Goodwin: Director
Joshua Collier: Director
Brianna Meese: Patience Worth
Jennifer Soloway: Pearl Curran
Adam Von Housen: Violinist
