Meet Coach Cal and Duke, Bunthorne High's resident jocks! 🏈📣

Back before everyone started carrying poetry journals and discussing aesthetics, these guys were the undisputed kings of campus. Now they're watching half the school swoon over a brooding poet in a turtleneck and wondering where society went wrong.

Come see Mathew and Justin in their Opera Kansas debuts as Coach Cal and Duke! June 26-28th. Get your tickets at operakansas.org and check out their bios in the comments!

Let's meet two more of Bunthorne High's IT girls...and they have IT bad for Baldwin! 💕

Angela and Saphy are absolutely obsessed with Baldwin. Honestly, we're not sure if they're in love with him or the idea of dating the guy who carries a notebook full of poetry and emotional damage, but who's counting?

Make sure to catch Elena Cianciolo and Katie Comley in their Opera Kansas debut! Bios in the comments.

Meet Baldwin Bunthorne, Bunthorne High's resident poet, philosopher, and self-appointed cultural critic. Played by Joseph Ross, Baldwin has an endless supply of witty observations, a collection of questionable vintage jackets, and a talent for turning any conversation into a monologue.

Whether he's holding court at the local coffee shop, reviewing everyone's taste in music, or explaining why his latest poem is misunderstood genius, one thing's for sure: everyone at Bunthorne High has an opinion about Baldwin.

Catch Joseph June 26-28! Get your tickets at operakansas.org!

We're having a 90's summer.

School's out, but Bunthorne High is just getting started. Join us June 26–28 for Gilbert & Sullivan's Patience—reimagined in 1995.

Time for another member of the Class of Bunthorne High, 1995! ✨

Meet Archibald "Archie" Grosvenor, played by Ethan Manlove.

You know that one guy who's good at everything? Student council loves him. The teachers love him. The yearbook committee loves him. Somehow he's handsome, talented, charming, and nice about it—which is honestly a little suspicious.

Archie isn't trying to be perfect. He just is. And that's exactly the problem.

Or, as Bunthorne might put it: "As if."

You've seen Ethan before on the Opera Kansas stage-and we are excited to have him back!

As if, Archie could even.

Fun fact: Archibald’s dramatic artsy-boy aesthetic was inspired by real-life poet and gay icon Oscar Wilde. He was even invited to see Patience. Imagine getting roasted by an opera and saying, “I’ll allow it.”

Happy Pride Month!
