Record Attendance

The March 2008 production of Carmen set new heights for LVO’s performances. Audiences returned to see LVO in the Bankhead Theater and were again rewarded with a large, stunning set and outstanding performances of the singers, chorus, dancers and orchestra. LVO thanks our patrons for their outstanding support and looks forward to another fine production season with our upcoming Barber of Seville in the Fall and Marriage of Figaro in the Spring of 2009.
