"Goodbye, Mr. Chips" tells the heart-warming story of a teacher at Brookfield, an all-boys English boarding school to which “Chips” dedicates most of his adult life.The opera chronicles Chips’ story of love, loss and learning over his decades-long tenure at Brookfield. The film stars Nathan Granner in the titular role of Mr. Chips, Marnie Breckenridge singing Kathie and Linford, Lester Lynch as Merrivale, and Kevin Short as Ralston and Rivers. The orchestra is conducted by Nicole Paiement. Members of The Young People’s Chorus of New York City, conducted by Francisco J. Núñez, represent the boarding school’s students.

Real magic, comedic choreography and devilishly deceptive music make this scene a challenge and a reward for cast and audience alike.Granner sings Ah! Lêve toi Soleil
Luckily for Romeo, Juliet's balcony is more than six feet off the ground, leaving tenor Nathan Granner free to profess his undying love. Nathan first charmed OSB audiences as Rodolfo in La bohème last season.
