The Delaware Valley Opera is offering two exciting theatrical productions for its 2025 season. In July, audiences can experience the lively and humorous Speed Dating Tonight by Michael Ching, directed by Jonathan Stinson. This contemporary opera features a vibrant ensemble and a unique take on the modern dating scene, with performances on July 12, 13, 19, and 20 at the Delaware Valley Opera Center in Lake Huntington, NY. Then in August, the intensity rises with Mozart’s Don Giovanni, a gripping story of seduction, drama, passion, and revenge. This timeless classic will be performed in English with a full orchestra on August 2, 3, 9, and 10.

The Delaware Valley Opera Center is now offering an affordable rehearsal and event space for rent at just $10 per hour, thanks to support from a NYSCA grant.
