Nashville Opera Brings Superheroes, Supervillains and Nashville Musical Talent to the Stage Nov. 13-15

Get ready for something completely different in our intimate studio space! Fortuna the Time Bender vs. The Schoolgirls of Doom is a vibrant, campy blend of musical styles, drawing from opera, Broadway, Hollywood, Gilbert & Sullivan, and touches of 1980s flair. When the villainous “Headmaster” threatens the city with his trio of musical minions, it’s up to the time-bending Fortuna and her nerdy apprentice to save the day. With an eclectic orchestration and a “Scott Pilgrim” visual energy, this production is a high-octane comedy that proves opera can be as fun as your favorite graphic novel.*
