Events

Opera in Conversation is a series of three sessions surrounding Opera Omaha mainstage productions that features creatives, scholars, and other public figures.

These FREE events exist to foster cross-disciplinary exploration of art, big questions, and community connections.

Join Opera Omaha on Tuesday, April 29 at the Joslyn Castle Carriage House for the second Giulio Cesare Opera in Conversation.

The opera may be called Giulio Cesare, but it’s really about Cleopatra. Join a conversation with historian Catherine Medici-Thiemann, PhD to explore some of the most famous women rulers of history.
