Washington National Opera returns to Lisner Auditorium as it parts ways with Kennedy Center
TL;DR Summary
The Washington National Opera is relocating spring performances from the Kennedy Center to Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University and other D.C.-area venues due to financial constraints tied to Kennedy Center leadership changes; donations surged after the split, the company plans a full 2026–27 season announcement (including West Side Story and the gala), and tickets go on sale Jan. 23.
