SARATOGA SPRINGS —Opera Saratoga has announced an updated casting and ticket information for its innovative new festival model that embraces partnerships with multiple venues across the region.
At the heart of the 2022 Summer Festival are performances of Rossini’s bel canto comedy “The Barber of Seville” on Proctors MainStage, as well as his exquisite “Petite Messe Solennelle” at The Round Lake Auditorium; the deeply moving “Sky on Swings” by Lembit Beecher and Hannah Moscovitch at The Egg, which explores the journey of two women living with Alzheimer’s disease; and Stephen Sondheim’s Broadway masterpiece, “Sweeney Todd,” on the Amphitheater Stage of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center on June 29-30.
Additional events will include Stars of Tomorrow at The Charles R. Wood Theater in Glens Falls; A Broadway Cabaret at The Mansion of Saratoga in Rock City Falls; and A Juneteenth Celebration at Proctors’ GE Theater in Schenectady.
The 2022 Opera Gala – Opera Under the Stars - will take place on Sunday, June 5 at The Barn at French Mountain in Lake George Village.
Tickets for Summer Festival performances are available through Festival Passes (previously called Subscriptions); or tickets can be purchased to individual performances, which will go on sale March 21. This season, Opera Saratoga is offering two Festival Passes, which provide significant savings, priority ticket access, and the greatest degree of flexibility:
ALL ACCESS PASS: Opera Saratoga’s All Access Pass provides the best value this summer while guaranteeing the best seats for every production and concert. Benefits include: saving 20% off tickets to Sweeney Todd, Sky on Swings, The Barber of Seville, the Petite Messe Solennelle, and A Broadway Cabaret; and FREE tickets to A Juneteenth Celebration and Stars of Tomorrow. All Access Pass holders also receive a 20% discount off any additional tickets they wish to purchase.
FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS PASS: Opera Saratoga’s Festival Highlights Pass provides priority seating and 20% off tickets to Sweeney Todd, Sky on Swings, and The Barber of Seville. Pass holders can then customize their Highlights Pass by adding tickets to concerts of their choice, with a 10% discount off any additional tickets purchased.
With the purchase of either Festival Pass, there is no need to deal with multiple box offices for ticket purchases, and free exchanges are available. Festival Pass holders also save on handling fees: there is a single $10 fee per order when purchasing Festival Passes; whereas there is a processing fee charged by each venue’s box office on each ticket purchased that is not part of a Festival Pass.
SINGLE TICKETS: Tickets for individual events will be available online or by phone beginning March 21, 2022 through the SPAC, Proctors, and Egg Box Offices. SPAC is handling ticket sales for: Sweeney Todd (at SPAC); Stars of Tomorrow (at The Wood Theater); A Broadway Cabaret (at The Mansion of Saratoga); and performances of the Petite Messe Solennelle (at The Round Lake Auditorium). Proctors is handling tickets for: The Barber of Seville and A Juneteenth Celebration (both at Proctors); and tickets for Sky on Swings (at The Egg) will be available through The Egg.
