Speed Dating Tonight! Tickets

Speed Dating Tonight! is a lively, contemporary opera experience created by composer/librettist Michael Ching with concept input from Dean Anthony. Since its world premiere in 2013 at the Brevard Music Center's Janiec Opera, this modular, five-minute-date opera has become one of the most-performed American operas of the 2010s. The show’s flexible format lets producers tailor cast size and number of scenes, resulting in 90+ solos, duets, and ensembles across productions.

As a performer page, we highlight the work’s engaging blend of humor, short-form dating vignettes, and accessible storytelling. Ching’s leadership roles and prolific output in opera and music theater help position Speed Dating Tonight! as a staple in modern American repertoire.
