Join us for an unforgettable evening of gorgeous music, bel canto singing, hijinks and hilarity as Pico Opera presents our fall performance of Il Conte Ory. This intimate, fully staged production will be performed in Italian with English titles, accompanied by our one-man orchestra, Pianist Andrew Wang.

All seats will be within 10 rows of the stage on stadium seating, ensuring a fully immersive and truly unique opera experience. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the magic of opera up close and personal!


Synopsis: When all the men depart for war, the cunning Count Ory seizes his opportunity to pursue the beautiful Countess Adèle. He concocts absurd disguises to get close to her—first masquerading as a wise hermit who dispenses love advice, then dressing up as a nun named "Sister Colette" who seeks shelter from a storm. Things become uproarious when Ory and his companions, still dressed as nuns, plunder the castle's wine cellar and must pretend to pray whenever someone checks on them. Ory even attempts to romance the countess in the dark, not realizing he's actually holding hands with his rival, Isolier.


About Us: Founded in 2023, Pico Opera is a community-based opera company performing intimate productions of bel canto masterworks in the Boston/Cambridge area. We are excited to share this beautiful music with you, up close and personal!
