STUDENT DRESS REHEARSALS
Catch the show before it opens!
Students, teachers, and educational groups can see this rare step in the opera-making process, for just $20.*
A dress rehearsal is the last chance for everything to come together on the opera stage before opening night. Our stellar singers are in full costume, the sets and lights are on display, and the full orchestra is in the pit — just like the finished product.
(Psst: since the show is still a work-in-progress, you may catch a few hiccups along the way — a rare and fascinating look inside our work.)
