Madness and The Medium: The Medium Menotti

This new take on Menotti’s dark masterpiece pairs a full production of The Medium with scenes of murder and madness from other operas in a walk-through haunted house experience. Addressing themes of suffering, violence, and addiction with a healthy measure of gorgeous singing and deeply human story telling, “Madness and The Medium” creates an opera experience like no other.

Join us as we watch the riveting story of Baba, an alcoholic con-woman who (with the help of her subjugated daughter Monica and the “adopted” mute orphan youth, Toby) swindles grieving clients by claiming to be the medium, Madame Flora. When the lines between her con and her contact with the spirit realm become muddied, the chaos that ensues yields terrifying results.

The audience for the “Madness” portion of the production is split into two staggered show times. For those of you participating in the 7pm and 3pm showtimes, the haunted “Madness” tour of the cavernous Tri-Cities Opera facility will culminate in a themed reception of sweet and savory treats thoughtfully crafted by local gourmet partners. At the end of this reception, the 7:30 and 3:30 showtime attendees will land at the lobby (after their haunted tour) for a brief intermission before all of our guests are spirited away to their seats and into the “faded 1920s” world of The Medium.
