In partnership with Carroll University, we're developing a new production of "Amahl and the Night Visitors" that uses the Italian presepio and a child's imagination as our inspiration. In addition to the glorious singing you've come to expect, our cast will be using the puppetry techniques of toy theater to bring you the story of Amahl, his mother and the miracle of a gift freely given.  Co-directed by James Zager and Jill Anna Ponasik with music direction by Anne Van Deusen.

This year, our Winter Concert explores the impulse to travel.

In October of 2006, MOT's General Manager, Jillian Bruss embarked on a special expedition: To bring a solo recital to the birthplaces of her grandfathers in Denmark and Norway.  Accompanying her on this voyage of body and soul was friend and composer Paula Foley Tillen who created the song cycle, "When Thou Commandest Me to Sing" just for the occasion.  Using Jillian's adventure as our inspiration and Paula's song cycle as our centerpiece, MOT presents a concert that explores the impulse to travel, tracing the particular yearning that makes us leave what we know and head for the unfamiliar. 
This year's concert features: 
Jillian Bruss, Jill Anna Ponasik, Kathryn Peperkorn, Kerry Hart, John Becker, Doug Clemons
Anne Van Deusen and Paula Foley Tillen!

A "mesmerizing theatrical event" according to the Minneapolis City Pages, From the Diary of Virginia Woolf, chronicles the life of one of the most important literary figures of the 20th century, from the dawn of her career to the brink of her suicide 22 years later.  Singer-Actor Diane Lane journeys through the writer's mind as Woolf attempts to "reflect the light of our life" by writing it down.

In Meditations on Arion, Singer-Actor Susan Wiedmeyer tells us the story of Arion, an ancient singer so gifted that through the beauty of his song, he is saved from drowning by a dolphin.  Audiences in the Twin Cities called this production, "breathtaking, completely gorgeous, exquisite and utterly transforming".
