Sip and mingle during our festive Cocktail Hour, featuring a Silent Auction, Raffle, Song Auction, and dazzling Live Performances.
Enjoy a delicious 3-Course Dinner and the presentation of the Maestro Award, followed by soaring Opera Highlights from baritone Levi Hernandez and our talented El Paso Opera Artist Ambassadors. We are excited to be honoring Kirk & Judy Robison with the Maestro Award this year!
Then, the night kicks into high gear with our Casino Night After Party—featuring authentic casino tables, a live DJ, and dancing ‘til late.
It’s the best of Encores & Overtures and Casino Night—two unforgettable events in one spectacular evening!

La Bohème
Puccini’s masterpiece is beloved for a reason! La Bohème captures the raw beauty of youth, love and loss in artistic Paris. Puccini’s lush score paints a portrait of passion that flickers brightly before fading into silence. We return to St. Rogers Depot to transform this event venue into a fully realized theatrical space. By doing so we not only maintain high production standards but also elevate the audience experience through amenities such as a VIP Lounge, attentive service, and convenient parking. This season we will expand to five performances spanning January 30-February 7, 2026.
Tickets on sale September 15! Cast announcement coming soon!
