Opera Omaha is rescheduling the remainder of their 2020-2021 Orpheum Theater productions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
On Tuesday, Opera Omaha released a statement saying that the move was being made in order to, "protect the safety of our patrons, artists and staff." Opera Omaha says they are working with artists and creative teams to offer previously scheduled titles and productions next year in their 2021/2022 Season.
