Introducing Carter Topel, the talented baritone returning for his second season as an emerging artist with Lyric Opera OC! This season, Carter will be taking on the formidable role of Jupiter, the King of Mount Olympus and ruler of the celestial world. When his return was publicly announced, all the fly guys and gals simply replied... “Carter? That guy who's playing Jupiter? Yeah, he's the big cheese!”

While he may not be a Francophile by nature—his closest indulgence being the ever-popular French fry—we won't hold it against him. After all, when it comes to comedy, Carter is fluent and has a knack for making us laugh in any language! Get ready to be entertained by Carter's captivating performance this season!

Meet Tyler Perrine, hailing from Montgomery, Texas, and stepping onto our stage as Mars, the God of War! This ain’t your average deity—he’s got a Tomcat charm that’ll knock you off your feet faster than a right hook in a bar brawl.

A student at Stephen F. Austin State University, Tyler’s a maestro of mischief, bringing Big Six flair to Mars while sip-sip-sipping on an old fashioned—because for this muscle-brain, it’s all about class and charisma... And let’s face it, that’s the bees knees! Get ready as Tyler takes the stage and reminds us that sometimes, a fight is just a prelude to a good time!

We were strolling the streets of Paris near the Champs-Élysées when we spotted Emma Ginzel, the fabulous mezzosoprano from Costa Mesa, California, sipping a rich French roast outside a charming café. Intrigued, we sat down to ask her about her role as Juno in "Orpheus in the Underworld." Emma's playful personality shines as she embodies the goddess's dual nature—fierce yet nurturing—taking full advantage of her Gemini spirit. “You know, old sport, I think Offenbach's the bee's knees,” she chuckles, twirling a spoon in her cup. This June, join us at the speakeasy for a delightful evening filled with enchanting performances and delectable treats—think decadent Monet and light-as-air meringue—because this captivating chanteuse is ready to serve up talent with a dash of flair, leaving everyone craving an encore!

Meet our titular character, performed by tenor Shuo Wang. This dazzling young tenor is on the right track at Lyric Opera OC, coming to us by way of the University of Florida... and his hometown in Zibo, China! True story: he once performed to a packed house with thunderous applause and a standing ovation... and did we mention that it was actually on a train car? With his career choo-choo-choosing a promising path, his first stop is the underworld as Offenbach's Orpheus!

Join us at the speakeasy this June, where you’re sure to catch this melancholy musician musing over a martini. A consummate artist, just like his character Orpheus, we’re confident his dream roles of crooning characters like Nemorino and Count Almaviva are just around the bend on this train’s next few stops!
