Join us for a Spooktacular Night
of Macabre Melodies
and Frightfully Fun Performances.
Firebird Light Opera is thrilled to announce its Haunted Cabaret, this year's offering for our annual Gala. This spine-chilling evening of entertainment promises to be a highlight of the season. It takes place at 7 pm on October 25th and 2 pm (for those afraid of the dark) on October 27th at The National Automobile Museum, transforming the stage into a haven for the supernatural and the spectacular.
The Haunted Cabaret will feature an array of talented cast members performing their favorite songs and showcasing their most ghoulish costumes from the realms of the macabre and the delightfully eerie. Audiences can expect an eclectic mix of musical theatre, Opera, pop, and Broadway tunes, each with a haunting twist that will send shivers down their spines.
"This is a unique event for us, and we're excited to bring something new and thrilling to our audience," said Stephen Thompson, Artistic Director of Firebird Light Opera. "Our performers have embraced the Halloween spirit with incredible enthusiasm, and their renditions of these dark and playful songs are nothing short of spellbinding."
Tickets are $45 for general admission, which includes wine and light hors d'oeuvres and access to the museum with fun-themed cars like the Ghostbuster Mobile (can you say great photo op?) We also encourage you to join in the fun and come in costume.
Ghoulish regards,
Your friends at Firebird
