  • Opera Del Sol's brings Scalia/Ginsburg - a groundbreaking new opera by Derrick Wang to Orlando

    A gentle parody of operatic proportions, inspired by the opinions of U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia is coming to Orlando. Scalia/Ginsburg will take to the stage at the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater from Friday – Sunday, March 15 – 17, 2024. Tickets for Opera del Sol's production of this groundbreaking new opera by Derrick Wang are now available on the Dr Phillips Center for the Performing Arts website! Get your tickets here. Scalia/Ginsburg is a light-hearted, night at the theatre that everyone needs, an opera inspired both by the opinions of U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia and by the “operatic precedent” of Händel, Mozart, Rossini, Bellini, Verdi, Offenbach, Bizet, Sullivan, Puccini, Strauss, et al. Don't miss your chance to see the opera that unites us all. Hailed as “a dream come true” (Ruth Bader Ginsburg), a “perfect…jewel” (Opera Today), and “the kind of opera that should be everywhere” (OperaWire), Scalia/Ginsburg is a one-act operatic comedy by composer-librettist Derrick Wang about the unlikely friendship between U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia — and the pivotal moment that would change the Supreme Court for years to come. Justices Ginsburg and Scalia themselves wrote forewords to Derrick Wang’s libretto, an early version of which was published in the Columbia Journal of Law and the Arts and excerpted as a chapter in Justice Ginsburg’s 2016 book My Own Words.

  • Rock band The Record Company add a limited run of dates in May including stops in Orlando and Tampa

    Following several sold out shows, power trio, The Record Company have announced more dates this May, kicking off in Tampa, before a stop in Orlando. After a highly-successful winter tour that netted Gramm® Award-nominated rockers The Record Company several sold out shows and rave reviews from fans and critics alike, the trio has announced a special, limited run of dates this May. Kicking off May 4 in Tampa, at the WMNF Tropical Heatwave Festival in the Cuban Club, Ybor City, the rockers then stop off in Orlando at Tuffy's Music Box & Lounge, Sanford on May 5, with the tour running through May 12, culminating in Scaly Mountain, NC at the Bear Shadow, TRC’s spring routing will continue to support their latest release The 4th Album. Tickets for the May shows are available now at https://therecordcompany.net/tour/. During the shows, the trio will perform tracks from their new record like lead single, “Talk to Me,” which reached # 4 at AAA radio, and fan favorites "Dance On Mondays" and "Highway Lady," as well as hits from their catalog including "Off the Ground" (#1 on the U.S. Billboard Alternative Songs Chart), “Rita Mae Young” (#12 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart), and “Baby, I’m Broken” (#6 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart). Comprising Vocalist/Guitarist Chris Vos, Bassist Alex Stiff, and Drummer Marc Cazorla, TRC’s deep-rooted bond is evident in their music, akin to a supportive conversation among siblings. The 4th Album showcases this unparalleled bond further. "We know each other’s personalities on the instruments," explains Vos, emphasizing the trust that has been their secret weapon since their inception in 2011. Since their breakthrough 2016 debut album Give It Back To You, which earned a GRAMMY nomination, the band has consistently delivered chart-topping tracks and electric performances, including their incendiary appearance at Bonnaroo in 2019, which was hailed by Rolling Stone Country as “a wildly energetic show and one of the most communal experiences of the festival.” The show even garnered them a spot on Rolling Stone’s “5 Best Country and Americana Moments.” The group has since shared the stage with such notable artists as John Mayer, B.B. King, Social Distortion, Bob Seger, Blackberry Smoke and many more. Today, more than a decade since the band formed, TRC continues to invite fans to be a part of their musical journey through their stripped back approach. "We want people to feel like they’re in the house [studio] with us, being part of this unpolished and homemade thing," said Stiff. Cazorla added, "We embrace that space [between us]  as part of the raw element. That’s what we explored on this album, and it’s beautiful. We can’t wait to bring it back out on the road." Official “Roll With It Tour” dates are as follows: May 4               Tampa, FL                    WMNF Tropical Heatwave May 5               Orlando, FL                  Tuffy’s May 6               Jacksonville, FL            Underbelly May 7               Savannah, GA              District Live May 9               Wilmington, NC             Greenfield Lake Amphitheatre May 10             Charlotte, NC                Visulite Theatre May 11             Chattanooga, TN           Barrelhouse Ballroom May 12             Scaly Mountain, NC      Bear Shadow For more information about The Record Company, visit https://therecordcompany.net To keep up to date with the very latest happenings in Orlando, sign up to the Gotta Go Orlando Newsletter, and don't forget to follow us on social media for everything Orlando: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
