This fun, enthusiastic and talented group of local singers can be found in bars, restaurants, art galleries, outdoor parks, and much more! They are singing the tunes of your favorite operas, musicals, art songs and even jazz standards. They let down their hair and give the audience a taste of what feels like an after hours back stage party. So come join us at our next event in Boston!

Opera on Tap’s mission is to promote opera as a viable, living and progressive art form by taking it out of the concert halls and putting it into venues where people least expect it. We are passionate about breaking down misconceptions, bringing new people to the art form, and giving power to the performers. We are also committed to building community through the introduction of new audiences to a centuries-old art form.

Pick Your Poison – Opera on Tap’s Annual Halloween Bash at The Burren

Join us for an epic operatic brunch in the ‘ville for Puccini and Pancakes.  Opera singers get to wear costumes year-round, but you get one weekend of socially acceptable make-believe…don’t waste it. Don your fangs, your cardboard robot gear, or cut eye-holes in your best bedsheet, then pop on over to the Burren for an Irish halloween brunch of bangers and monster mash.

Take a break from your holiday shopping and get the nitty gritty on Handel’s Messiah. With a Dublin premiere in 1742, the iconic oratorio is a perfect fit for Somerville’s favorite Irish Pub. Don’t miss Mimosas, Bloody Marys, and Messiah Hits that will turn any “Humbug” into a “Hallelujah!”

Outrageous ugly sweaters strongly recommended, but not required for entry.
