March 4 and 6, tickets on sale now

Knoxville Opera’s first fully-staged opera following Covid-19 theatre closures is Boito’s “Mefistofele,” coming to the Tennessee Theatre March 4 at 7:30 p.m. and March 6 at 2:30 p.m. A grand opera in the truest sense, “Mefistofele” is rarely performed and includes a 200-piece ensemble. This Faustian tale is not one to be missed.

Principal artists include Hidenori Inoue (Mefistofele), Kirk Dougherty (Faust), Abigail Santos Villalobos (Margherita), Allison Deady (Marta), and Tim Pope (Wagner).

Tickets start at $25 for adults and are available at here. Visit the Knoxville Opera’s website for more information here.
