London 1795.  The undisputed superstar was Haydn, now in his sixties. His final symphony, a triumphant farewell to the city that adored him, premiered at the King’s Theatre and was an instant success. It’s everything you’d expect from a genius at the pinnacle of his career and— to no one’s surprise— is as popular today as it was centuries ago. 
The other pieces surprise and delight. Ives brings featured players into the audience, immersing you in a musical conversation among instruments.
An out-of-this world concerto features the iconic instrument from the 50s sci-fi classic, The Day the Earth Stood Still. And you’ll discover a new suite that was “lost” for some time—until we found it!

The Rainmaker —AClassic American Tale 
Brings Love, Hope, and Faith to Hyannis Arts Hall Stage 

Hyannis Arts Hall and Back Porch Theater present the N. Richard Nash play The Rainmaker,
a tale of love, hope, and faith in ourselves and each other, from Thursday, August 6 through Sunday, August 9. A surprise hit of the 2025 summer season for the Sandwich Arts Alliance, The Rainmaker brings a unique blend of humor and insight into the human heart to Hyannis Arts Hall, an emerging hub for music, theater, and film in the historic East End of Hyannis, behind the Federated Church of Hyannis, at 81 Willow Avenue 
“A tale of love, a tale of hope, a tale of faith - in ourselves and in each other. At a time of paralyzing drought in the West, where ‘the only thing we have to fear is fear itself,’ we discover Lizzie, a girl whose father and two brothers are worried as much about her becoming an old maid as they are about their dying cattle — when out of nowhere appears an unexpected visitor. Honey-tongued and grandiose, he promises rain. For $100. And the rain comes. And so does love.”
Massachusetts and Cape Cod actorsNeil McGarry and Miranda Jonte return in this American classic. The two will also codirect the production. Funny honest, and sincere, The Rainmakeris a quintessential piece of Americana, and a timeless romance.

The Rainmaker — a classic American tale — on stage at Hyannis Arts Hall

Our season opener is not a night out at the opera. It’s a ticket to four operatic masterpieces, bringing you four chances to lose yourself in the music you love in one unforgettable night.
From Rossini’s epic overture and Borodin’s exotic dances to Sarasate’s famous fantasy and the virtuosic violin concerto Gershwin never wrote, this performance will deliver more drama, danger, passion, and heroics than one night can contain—especially since our fiery fiddler for this tour de force is the one and only Irina Muresanu.
And, tucked in the middle, like a merry melodic intermission, is Roussanova’s Festival Celebration Music, rewritten for orchestra and premiering on the Phil stage.&nbsp; Just for you!
TICKETS $40 / $75<h1>PROGRAM</h1>

Overture to William Tell
