California Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Central City Opera just announced that two of its planned operas (Carousel and Rigoletto) will be performed at Hudson Gardens (https://www.hudsongardens.org/) which has an outdoor amphitheater in Littleton, CO, a suburb to the far south of Denver. Ironically, perhaps, most of that audience is over 65, so I suspect most of us who usually attend will be vaccinated by then. Of course, there are young ushers, interns, and orchestra members to take into account. I suspect we're going to see a lot more of this move to outdoor venues this summer. (The Vail dance festival is at an outdoor amphitheater and has already announced that its going forward.) https://centralcityopera.org/2021-festival/ Link to comment
dirac Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Thank you for posting, California. I'm sure you are right about the shift to outdoor venues, which will no doubt be true for dance, as well. Opera and musical theater involve singing, of course, which has proved to be a risk factor because of the need for performers to expel air with power. Link to comment
