A dinner theatre variety show featuring aerial arts, acrobatics, burlesque, drag, live music, dancing and DJs, with a 360-degree hydraulic stage.
OPUS is back at Fabrika on Saturday, October 17, with two showtimes to choose from: 5 PM and 10 PM. It's a variety show that puts dinner and nightlife in the same room as the performance, so you're eating and drinking while the acts happen around you.
The lineup pulls from a few different worlds. You'll see aerial arts and acrobatics, burlesque, drag, live music, dancing, and DJs, all under one roof. It's a constantly evolving show, which means the acts change from night to night rather than staying the same. The performers come from all over the world, and the variety is the whole point—you're getting a bit of everything in a single evening.
Fabrika itself is a dinner theater in the heart of Fishtown, run by a collective of artists and visionaries who specialize in burlesque, circus, fire, aerial, and drag. The room is built for this kind of thing: aerial rigs for the acrobats, industrial-chic design, multi-level seating, and a 360-degree hydraulic stage that lets the action move around the room. The night is rounded off with cocktails and fine dining, so the meal is part of the experience, not just something you do before the show starts.

Over the last ten years, Fabrika has hosted more than 200 events and served over 15,000 tables, so they know how to handle a night like this. One thing to keep in mind: the show is for ages 21 and older only, and they check IDs at the door. If you want to keep the night going after the final act, Margolis Lounge and The Patio Fishtown are nearby. OPUS runs at 5 PM and 10 PM on Saturday, October 17.
