The JSO offers a variety of special events, with something for everyone. Our one-night-only grand opera production features Puccini’s exotic and dramatic Turandot. For the holiday season, The Nutcracker brings dreams of dancing sugar plum fairies to audiences and Handel’s Messiah offers an evening of joyous music. We also present the music of The Beatles and the soundtracks from the James Bond movies.
