Opera Saratoga has announced their first holiday opera at Universal Preservation Hall. This event will be held on Friday, December 5 and will feature a special 80-minute concert version of Giacomo Puccini’s “La Bohème” directed general and artistic director Mary Birnbaum.
To describe the reasoning behind this particular opera, Mary Birnbaum stated, “We chose ‘La Bohème’ to honor the heritage of Opera Saratoga, formerly the Lake George Opera Festival, which began its first season 65 years ago with this beloved Puccini classic.” “It’s a magical introduction to opera —Puccini’s story of young artists in love is heartfelt and accessible, especially for first-time operagoers. The opera begins on Christmas Eve and later moves to the festive streets of Paris, making it the perfect way to celebrate the holidays with our community.”
The performance is open to people of all ages whether it will be their first opera, or seasoned opera lovers, aiming to dazzle listeners with young artists performing beautiful music.
General tickets are on sale through the Box Office at Proctors Sept. 23 in person, via phone at (518) 346-6204 Tuesday- Saturday 12-6 p.m., or by clicking here. For more information about Opera Saratoga click here.
