Need a palate cleanser from the state of the world today?
Come to GALApalooza, a retro variety show where cabaret meets comedy, cocktails meet coloratura, and nothing is sacred, but everything sings. Headlining is The Drunken Tenor, the alter ego of Grammy Award–winning opera tenor Robert McPherson, blending lounge lizard antics with world-class vocals and martini-fueled punchlines.
Like 'The Muppet Show' meets 'Saturday Night Live'… with opera.
Joining him in shenanigans is Soprano Ivy Martin-Zhou, Mezzo Rachelle Moss, Baritone John B. Cooper & Pianist David McDade.
Also starring Opera Unbound, a fearless opera company known for fast, funny and radically accessible takes on classic operas. Together, they deliver a one-night spectacle inspired by vintage TV variety specials: think The Carol Burnett Show meets Carmén, featuring live music, satirical sketches, character cameos, improv games and a whole lot of fun. Perfect for seasoned theatergoers, retro revivalists and anyone who thinks opera is “boring.”
