Before every opera performance (except special family performances), listen to charismatic music scholars present a 25-minute overview of the opera, with insights on the music, composer and historical background.
Pre-Opera Talks are free to ticketholders and take place in the main theater in the Orchestra section, 55 minutes prior to curtain. Enhance your experience by attending Pre-Opera Talks, whether you're a newcomer, opera aficionado or anywhere in between.
