Overture Center’s “Up Close” series showcases a diverse lineup of emerging artists from around the world in an intimate setting. The musical experience transforms the Capitol Theater into a cocktail lounge and gives audiences the opportunity to sit onstage. The first “Up Close” performance of the 2023–24 season will take place on Friday, Oct. 20 at 8 p.m. with Oklahoma-born, singer, songwriter, and cellist Gabriel Royal.
Royal released his self-titled album in 2016 along with his single and music video for “Say It’s Right,” directed by Blake Farber, who has worked with Beyoncé and other A-list artists. Royal has performed at NYC’s top music venues, the Monterey and Newport Jazz Festivals, and for sold-out crowds around the world.
Ticket holders sitting on the Capitol Theater stage at small cabaret tables may purchase beverages during the performance. A limited number of tickets are available for purchase online.
Additional performers in the “Up Close” series include Maeve Gilchrist on Friday, March 29 at 8 p.m. and Magos Herrera on Friday, May 3 at 8 p.m.
