FRANK SINATRA: THE TRIBUTEFeinsteins at Hotel Carmichael 

Join Don Farrell and the Terry Woods Orchestra for a swinging, seductive, and handsomely produced show as they pay homage to the “Chairman of the Board” with a tasteful celebration of Sinatra’s life and work. What you won’t get is a crass impersonation of Sinatra. Instead, you will be crooned to with song after stylish song like “Summerwind”, “One For My Baby”, In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning”, Fly Me To The Moon, and many others. You’ll be tapping your toes to these full and lush songs with choice arrangements while anecdotes and fun stories of Ol’ Blue Eyes are interspersed throughout. So, come to Feinstein’s and live again the urbanity, grace, and style of the man who dared to do it his way.

The Barber of Seville The Tarkington

Fiiiigaroooo! Celebrating 8 years in the beautiful Tarkington theater in collaboration with Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, join us on November 15-17 for one of the greatest comic operas of all time: Rossini’s The Barber of Seville. Led by the company’s first female artistic duo, Director Jessica Burton and Conductor Casey Robards (IO Young Artist Alumna, mentored by James Caraher), this spectacular slap-stick comedy is filled with famous moments that you are sure to recognize, from the iconic Overture to "Largo al factotum" (ala Bugs Bunny fame) and "Una voce poco fa.” The story of The Barber of Seville centers on the escapades of Figaro, the local barber and in-demand problem-solver of the town, as he helps two young lovers, Count Almaviva and Rosina, in their hysterical quest to outwit her guardian, the lecherous Dr. Bartolo, and run away together. This delightful production is a perfect offering for all ages – one for stalwart opera lovers and newcomers alike!

Carmel Symphony Orchestra
America the Beautiful
The Palladium 

The CSO proudly presents "America the Beautiful," an evening dedicated to celebrating the rich tapestry of American life and music. Featuring an eclectic selection of orchestral favorites, a centerpiece of the evening will be Aaron Copland's renowned composition, Lincoln Portrait.

A work that exemplifies the unifying power of music. Lincoln Portrait was composed in 1942 during the tumultuous times of World War II. In his seamless blend of original composition, Copland integrated excerpts from President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address with two iconic American folk songs of the era, creating a moving and patriotic homage to one of America's greatest leaders.

The CSO will also feature a piece written by composer and musician Margaret Bonds, the first African American soloist to perform with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as a 20-year-old pianist. Her work, Montgomery Variations, was written in 1963, during a period of racial turmoil in America when the fire bombing of the Birmingham, Alabama 16th Street Baptist Church occurred. This piece was seldomly played publically and was recorded for the first time in 2021. This piece consists of a group of freestyle variations of the same theme in the same key.

The closing finale will be Antonin Dvorak's Symphony No. 9, From the New World, one of the most recognizable and beloved pieces of the mid-20th century. This piece incorporates Dvorak's reflections on life in America and was composed in the early 1890s, while he was the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America

Actors Theatre of Indiana
She Loves Me

at The Studio Theater

She Loves Me is a euphoric holiday-themed romantic comedy with a soaring score that shares its source material with the classic movies “The Shop Around the Corner,” “In the Good Old Summertime,” and “You’ve Got Mail.”. Amalia and Georg work together at a modest Hungarian parfumerie and have disliked each other from the very beginning. He thinks she’s stuck up, and she thinks he’s arrogant and mean. But each rapturously writes to a lonely-hearts pen pal when the workday is done, and it doesn’t take long for the audience to see that they’re in love without realizing it. Music & Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock by Joe Masteroff. Directed by Richard J. Roberts.
