Nautilus works year-round with writers, composers, performers, and directors to make new operas and other kinds of music-theater, and to explore existing work in innovative ways. Our full productions of such works as ANSWERED PRAYERS, THE VIEW FROM HERE, JOAN OF ARC, UNTOLD LIES, ALICE UNWRAPPED, ORPHEUS AND EURIDICE, THE DIARY OF ADAM AND EVE, A WATER BIRD TALK, CAROUSEL, MAN OF LA MANCHA, SONGS FROM AN UNMADE BED, MEDITATIONS ON ARION, THE LAST FIVE YEARS, and many others (including most recently TWISTED APPLES and THE FANTASTICKS, along with the Ivey Award-winning ORDINARY DAYS, SISTER STORIES, and I AM ANNE FRANK) have been enthusiastically received by critics and audiences alike.
Our work is made possible, in part, by the Minnesota State Arts Board through the arts and cultural heritage fund as appropriated by the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the Legacy Amendment vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008. Additional funding has been provided by Opera America, the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, the McKnight Foundation, The Knight Foundation, The City of St Paul's Cultural STAR Program, and through support from satisfied audience members like you!
