Opera Overtures is the perfect counterpart to A Taste of Opera. Open to Subscribers only, these free 30-minute informal talks are held in the Academy of Music auditorium on the Parquet level, one hour before every performance. Opera Overtures will enhance your appreciation of all the operas you see this season. Join us to learn about musical, production, social, literary and other opera-related themes that you won’t get elsewhere.
Remember, admittance to Opera Overtures is not transferable to another date. Attendance is only available on the night of your printed ticket. Please enter on the Locust Street side of the Academy of Music.For more information on A Taste of Opera or Opera Overtures call 215-732-8400.
