  • Bergen Goes to Broadway 2017/2018 Season
    BERGEN GOES TO BROADWAY 2017/2018 SEASON Our Bergen Goes to Broadway series is pleased to announce its exciting 2017/2018 season with the opportunity to attend the following outstanding Broadway productions! Because of the popularity and the high demand for tickets to these performances, the due dates for payment are already upon us. Please join us for all performances or choose those that are most appealing to you. Tickets are limited and are open to the entire Bergen Catholic community. Checks should be made out to Bergen Catholic and sent to the attention of Barbara Peraino. Our opening shows, Come from Away, and closing show, Dear Evan Hansen, have already sold out! However, we are pleased to announce that tickets are now available for the following production that is about to take the Broadway stage by storm as well as the continuing smash hit, School of Rock! The Band`s Visit - Thursday, January 4th 2018. Dinner at Tony DiNapoli and transportation is included in the $120.00 cost of the trip. Payment is due by September 10th. “Some shows are so full of heart and so overflowing with integrity — of talent, of skill and of purpose – that a critic is torn between singing its praises from the rooftops and wanting to protect something rare and fragile. Even when, truth to tell, a great show is usually a tough one as well, able to withstand the pressure of raves and the demand to sacrifice a little bit of proximity to reach a wider audience. That was true of Rent, and Spring Awakening and, of course, Hamilton.

    April 1 & 3, 2021 Walt Disney Theater FAIRWINDS GROWS MY MONEY SO I CAN GROW MY BUSINESS. Get the freedom to go further. Insured by NCUA. OPERA-2646-02/092719 Opera Orlando’s Carmen On the MainStage at Dr. Phillips Center | April 2021 Dear friends, Carmen is finally here! Although many plans have changed over the course of the past year, we have always had our sights set on Carmen, not just because of its incredible music and compelling story but more because of the unique setting and concept of this production in particular - 1960s Haiti. So why transport Carmen and her friends from 1820s Seville to 1960s Haiti? Well, it all just seemed to make sense, for Orando, that is. We have a vibrant and growing Haitian-American community in Central Florida, and Creole is actually the third most commonly spoken language in the state of Florida. Given that Creole derives from French, and given the African- Carribean influences already present in Carmen, setting Carmen in Haiti was a natural fit and a great way for us to celebrate Haitian culture and influence in our own community. We were excited to partner with the Greater Haitian American Chamber of Commerce for this production and connect with Haitian-American artists, choreographers, and academics. Since Carmen is a tale of survival against all odds, we wanted to find a particularly tumultuous time in Haiti’s history to make things extra difficult for our heroine, and setting the work in the 1960s under the despotic rule of Francois Duvalier (aka Papa Doc) certainly raised the stakes.
