A celebration of Raleigh arts - and a collaboration of epic proportions. 🎭🎼 Bringing a score as rich and complex as The Hunchback of Notre Dame to the stage requires extraordinary artistry. That’s why Theatre Raleigh is so thrilled to partner with our friends at the North Carolina Master Chorale for this production - opening TOMORROW NIGHT! Led by Music Director Al Sturgis, the Master Chorale is one of North Carolina’s premier community arts organizations, celebrating eight decades as a cornerstone of our local cultural landscape. Celebrated as the primary chorus of the Carolina Ballet and a frequent guest of the NC Symphony, their auditioned singers represent the extraordinary talent thriving right here in our community. For this production, an ensemble of approximately 45 Master Chorale vocalists joins our cast and a live orchestra to bring unmatched depth and power to Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz’s legendary Latin chants and majestic harmonies. Watching these two Raleigh arts organizations blend their talents in rehearsal has been pure magic. There is truly nothing like the energy of local artists coming together to create something this massive. 🎟️ To everyone who grabbed their tickets, we can’t wait to share this unforgettable night with you tomorrow. 🔔✨ #TheatreRaleigh #NCMasterChorale #HunchbackOfNotreDame #RaleighArts

Another behind-the-scenes moment from rehearsal… The Hunchback of Notre Dame doesn’t begin with a typical Broadway opening—it begins with a prayer. Those haunting opening “ah”s immediately set this score apart, blending the soaring emotion of musical theatre with the grandeur of sacred choral music. It’s bold, breathtaking, and unlike anything else in the musical theatre canon. This is where it all begins. Before the lights, before the costumes, before the stunning architecture of Vintage Church becomes part of the storytelling, these voices lay the foundation for the journey ahead. We’re so grateful that audiences will soon experience this production, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to Vintage Church August 12–15. Until then, enjoy another little behind-the-scenes glimpse from rehearsal. ✨

✨ Behind the scenes of the Feast of Fools! Our rehearsal space, The Studio, has been home to rehearsals and the construction of a portion of our set before it makes the move to Vintage Church in Downtown Raleigh. Every piece has been designed to work with the church’s architecture and beautiful stained glass, creating a world where the scenery and the space become one. Enjoy this rehearsal look at “Topsy Turvy” featuring the electrifying Sai Graham as Clopin. If you’re one of the lucky ticket holders, you’ll soon see how it all comes together. If not… here’s a little peek behind the curtain. 😉 Choreo by: @eamonjohnfoley #HunchbackOfNotreDame #TheatreRaleigh #BehindTheScenes #TopsyTurvy
