A One-Night-Only Gala at the BARN OPERA House with Opera Vermont favorites

Brandon, VT — September 19, 2026 — Opera Vermont invites audiences to an unforgettable, one-night-only performance, “Too Big for the BARN,” on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 7:30pm, at the BARN OPERA House in Brandon, Vermont.

This special gala event celebrates opera at its most thrilling and expansive - bringing music to the BARN that is normally impossible to fit inside its famously intimate walls.

“Too Big for the BARN” features repertoire drawn entirely from operas known for massive choruses, huge orchestras, and stage logistics so grand they typically require major opera houses to produce. For one night, Opera Vermont will distill that epic scale into a high-impact concert experience - delivering the power, sweep, and drama of the grandest of “grand opera” in the close-up immediacy that makes the BARN OPERA House so treasured.

Adding to the excitement, the evening’s vocal artists are well-known to Opera Vermont audiences, having been seen in previous Opera Vermont performances across the state. The concert will be accompanied by the largest configuration of the New England Repertory Orchestra ever assembled in the BARN, making this gala not only a musical event, but a milestone moment in Opera Vermont’s ongoing mission to bring world-class opera to Vermont communities.

With limited seating in the BARN OPERA House, tickets are expected to sell quickly. Be sure to reserve your seats now for this one-night-only gala event!
