Fellow astronauts, physicists, tennis players, biologists, and opera lovers alike—We are so excited to finally announce our 2025-26 production!

Sally Ride is a new opera by composer Dana Kaufman and librettist Aiden Feltkamp. This opera follows the real-life story of the first American woman and the first LGBTQ+ person to go to space. Narrated by her life partner, Tam O’Shaughnessy, who consulted on the creation of this work, the opera illuminates parts of Ride’s life that remained hidden until her death, while celebrating her immense contributions to the field of aeronautics. Sally Ride explores the thrills, disappointments, humor, and secrets of Ride’s life, taking the audience on a journey of personal exploration and triumph.
