Bach's Mass in B minor is one of the most profound and astounding spiritual testaments ever composed. It is the summation of Bach's lifetime of creating music. Unlike the majority of his music, which was written for church services, Bach wrote it to leave a musical legacy. It represents an attempt to both summarize the tradition of the Mass in a single perfect specimen and leave a statement on the nature of sacred music as a bequest to the future.

Congratulations to all involved in this wonderful production!!
Bravi! 🎉🍾
Meet the creative team for our production of CARMEN: Director, Andrew Nienaber and Conductor, Michael Sakir.
✨Andrew Nienaber's productions of The Barber of Seville have been called "a rousing success" by the Winston-Salem Journal, and “legitimately hilarious” by Berkshire Fine Arts, and his Elixir of Love for Resonance Works Pittsburgh, awarded the American Prize for "Best Opera Performance of the Year", was hailed as "utterly, fabulously engaging," and "…one of the most charming entertainment experiences you can have this season…"
His other directing credits include Tosca for l'Opera de Montreal, Opera Idaho, Opera Birmingham and Permian Basin Opera, Rusalka for Resonance Works Pittsburgh, The Magic Flute for Piedmont Opera and The Elixir of Love for Opera Idaho and Hubbard Hall Opera. He currently serves as the first Artistic Director in Permian Basin Opera’s history, helping to guide the company’s artistic vision as they venture into the business of producing opera.

✨Conductor Michael Sakir has been praised for his "artistic authority," "fluidity of expression," and "great delicacy of feeling." He serves as the Artistic Director of Intermountain Opera Bozeman and Music Director of the Opera Company of Middlebury. He recently completed his fourth and final season as Music Director of Opera Memphis, with whom he was deeply involved in the company's groundbreaking civic practice programs, community partnerships, and commissioning projects.
In the 2021-2022 season, Sakir conducts The Barber of Seville and Le nozze di Figaro with Intermountain Opera Bozeman and Tchaikovsky's rarely-heard masterpiece The Maid of Orleans with the Opera Company of Middlebury. He makes his guest debut with Opera Idaho conducting Carmen and with Temple University conducting Le nozze di Figaro.
