A Season of Surprise

Welcome to the 2024-25 mainstage season.

This season promises everything from beloved standards to brand-new work; it’s a watershed moment for Jacobs School of Music.

We have beloved headliners to anchor the season—Suor Angelica, Alcina, Carmen—we also have a world premiere ballet and, excitingly, a new opera coproduced with the Metropolitan Opera. We have two further surprises this season: an evening of operatic delight, chosen based on the voices of current and future students, as well as (of course!), Jacobs Live at the Movies. Add in the Singing Hoosiers and Jazz Celebration and we have a heady mix for all. This season will celebrate the artistic work of our students, faculty, staff, and talented guests throughout the year.

Have a look at what’s on offer and set up a subscription for yourself. And keep checking back—the surprises will keep coming and you don’t want to miss the party…
