Letter From Tomer Zvulun, Carl W. Knobloch, Jr. General & Artistic Director

Welcome to our final mainstage production of the season.

At The Atlanta Opera, we are proud of the fact that throughout these long two years, we never missed a beat. When the theatrical world shut down two years ago, we kept going with innovative Big Tent performances, and this year, our return to The Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre focused on opera’s lighter side.

The opera you will see today, however, is something uniquely different. And it is uniquely Atlanta Opera.

The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs won GRAMMYs and worldwide praise when it debuted in 2017, and this new production, which has traveled this year from Austin to Kansas City to Atlanta, is a brand new interpretation. We are proud to be a company that creates new productions that travel the world. Personally, I have been working on this with a stellar creative team for three years and tonight, seeing this in our home space, is an achievement to celebrate.

After the final downbeat of The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, we head to a completely new venue for our 2022 Discoveries Series. Many of you have joined us for these performances in surprising new locations before, and we hope you will join us in June at Pullman Yards in Kirkwood. Better known as the location for the enormously successful Van Gogh (and now Picasso) immersive exhibits, Pullman Yards provides the perfect gritty canvas for Cabaret, As One, and a concert with our friend Jay Hunter Morris.

Next season promises to be the return to grand opera we’ve missed for years now. Our team is working nonstop to bring you the best. Please take a moment to learn more about next season on our streaming platform, Spotlight Media, when you have the chance. One of the best ways to explore our season is to listen to the iconic music in store for you by Mozart, Bernstein, Puccini, and Wagner.

As always, stay healthy and I’ll see you at the opera house.

Tomer Zvulun Carl W. Knobloch, Jr. General & Artistic Director
