Once

About

Opera Montana presents Once as part of its 2026–2027 season at The Armory Music Hall in Bozeman, with additional Montana stops planned in Helena and Missoula. The Tony Award-winning musical—adapted by Enda Walsh from John Carney’s 2007 film with songs by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová—features an actor‑musician ensemble performing live on stage. The intimate Dublin‑set story centers on love, loss, and the power of music, with the Oscar‑winning song “Falling Slowly” as a keystone moment. In keeping with Opera Montana’s commitment to pairing two operas with one musical each season, this staging broadens the company’s repertoire beyond grand opera. Casting and creative team details had not been announced on the show page at the time of publication.
