Come Together, Cincy
A regional celebration of Cincinnati Opera’s world stage premiere of Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio.
This summer, Cincinnati Opera presents the world stage premiere of Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio. It’s a powerful story, full of heartfelt lyrics and soaring melodies, written by Paul McCartney and Carl Davis in 1991 for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society. While it has been performed around the world, it has never been presented with full scenery, costumes, lighting, and choreography—until now.
Everyone is invited to come together to #GetPaulToMusicHall, show the world how special the Greater Cincinnati region is—and why Sir Paul said “Yes!” to this historic production happening right here.
