As Opera Saratoga’s new Artistic and General Director, I am truly honored to have the opportunity to lead this incredible company into its next chapter.

This year, we are expanding our Summer Festival to include three over a three and a half week period, from July 2nd to 26th, while also adding a wide range of extra concerts throughout June and July to bring an incredible variety of opera and song to Saratoga Springs.

The season includes three operas that couldn’t be more different. La Cenerentola (Cinderella) is a bubbling comedy by Rossini that features virtuoso singing to impress the most passionate opera lovers, and is also an ideal introduction to opera for family audiences. Our presentation of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas will be our first site-specific production, presented outside under the stars, in partnership with the National Museum of Dance. The world-premiere of The Long Walk, based on the critically acclaimed memoir of war and homecoming by Brian Castner, marks a reaffirmed commitment to the inclusion of contemporary American opera as a regular part of our programming. While Opera Saratoga has produced 33 works by American composers in its history (5 of which have been world-premieres), The Long Walk, commissioned by American Lyric Theater from composer Jeremy Howard Beck and librettist Stephanie Fleischmann, will be the first world-premiere for the Company in 27 years!

The guest artists joining us this season are truly extraordinary. They include artists who are performing leading roles at the world’s great opera houses, including The Metropolitan Opera, The Paris Opera and The Vienna Staatsoper… but there is nowhere else that you can enjoy them in such intimate and beautiful settings than Opera Saratoga.

This season, we are introducing a number of new benefits for our subscribers, including savings of up to 30% off single ticket prices. I know that there are likely operas you may not be familiar with this season, but with such great discounts, you can’t afford not to give something new a try! Visit us online at www.operasaratoga.org/subscriptions or call our ticket office at 518.584.6018 with any questions you may have.

Opera has the amazing ability to bring dreams to life in song. This season, we celebrate dreams of love and forgiveness, hope and heartbreak, family and brotherhood. I cannot wait for the summer to arrive so that I can personally welcome you, and share these dreams and the thrill of great opera with you in our beautiful city.

Lawrence Edelson, Artistic and General Director (CINDERELLA)
