Arias Aloft: Chromatic

Opera and circus don't usually share the same stage, which is exactly what makes Arias Aloft: Chromatic so captivating. Set against the summer blooms of the New England Botanic Garden in Boylston, this open-air performance pairs soaring opera, musical theater, and cabaret favorites with breathtaking aerial acrobatics from Circus 617. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and settle in as singers and aerialists transform the gardens into a living stage where music and movement unfold beneath the evening sky. It's one of those performances that feels impossible to recreate indoors, with nature playing as much of a role as the artists themselves.
