Journey to a secluded upstate town, away from all the hustle and bustle but suspiciously short on cell reception. What will happen when a New York City transplant points out what the kids have been missing? Will the over-protective parents see the error of their ways, or will the grandparents need to step in to save the day? Glimmerglass is proud to present our annual youth opera on the Alice Busch Opera Theater mainstage again this season. This newly commissioned one-hour opera is fun for the whole family; all ages are welcome as we celebrate the talents of some of the youngest performers in our community alongside our Festival artists and world-class production team.

2023 The Rip Van Winkles

Alice Busch Opera Theater

Francesca Zambello’s spectacular production of this great American musical comes roaring back to life. Voltaire’s biting wit, Bernstein’s toe-tapping, heart-warming melodies, and a barrel-load of laughs make for a wild ride across the “best of all possible worlds.” Yet from Montevideo to El Dorado, calamity seems to follow poor Candide and Cunegonde everywhere they go; what’s the use of optimism when the odds seem stacked against you?

2023 Candide

Originally Produced on Broadway by The Shubert Organization and Emanuel Azenberg By arrangement with Playwrights Horizons, Inc. New York City which produced the original production of Sunday in The Park With George in 1983.
