Marking its 10th anniversary, Heartbeat’s signature operatic cabaret returns under the direction of co-founder Ethan Heard. Blending opera, drag, and social commentary, the production reimagines some of the most provocative and controversial arias in the canon. Set amid New York’s nightlife, it follows Bess and a cast of “opera queens” through dressing rooms and back alleys in a playful exploration of identity, art, and the boundaries of reinvention.
