Our 40th anniversary season brings fan-favorite operas back to our stage—alongside the long-awaited premiere of a Broadway classic: West Side Story, the final Bernstein masterpiece to debut with us.

We’re ready to laugh, cry, and be moved all over again as these beloved works return in stunning new productions. But before the curtain rises, we’re taking a walk down memory lane.

Over the past 40 years, we’ve had the privilege of staging each of these operas—and now, we’re revisiting some of the most unforgettable moments. Join us as we look back at gorgeous photos from past productions of these operas, as well as from Candide and Wonderful Town, in celebration of West Side Story's long-awaited debut.
