Snuggly Operatic Shadows

In Impossible Operas, Milwaukee Opera Theatre and Quasimondo Physical Theatre deliver a surreal, witty, and emotionally rich evening of operatic storytelling. Framed by Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle, Bluebeard (Kirk Thomsen) and Judith (Jessi Miller) guide audiences through a whimsical series of shadow puppet vignettes and iconic operatic excerpts—from Wagner to Prokofiev—all tied together with charm, humor, and heart. Featuring stunning vocals and haunting visuals, this inventive production reimagines classic opera in delightfully unexpected ways.
