WHAT DISTINGUISHES THIS FESTIVAL
The Glimmerglass Festival presents four new productions of opera and musical theater, as well as concerts, guest appearances and a youth opera each summer. Glimmerglass attracts an international audience to the scenic Cooperstown area, where the talents of artists from around the world converge to produce world-class productions.
FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Glimmerglass Festival is a one-of-a-kind summer destination. The scenic campus lies on the shore of sparkling Otsego Lake in Cooperstown, New York, nestled between the Adirondack and Catskill mountains. Each season, the company presents new productions of opera and musical theater, accompanied by myriad concerts, lectures, and more. As its core offerings in 2019, Glimmerglass presents new mainstage productions of Jerome Kern's Show Boat, Verdi's La traviata, Corigliano's The Ghosts of Versailles, and the world premiere of Blue. Additional mainstage events include appearances by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Ta-Nehisi Coates. Tony award-winner Christine Ebersole stars in an adaptation of Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades. The Festival is completed by additional concerts, cabarets, and Benjamin Britten's youth opera Noah's Flood. Visit the website for more information.
