Called "revelatory" by The Wall Street Journal and "magic on the Mississippi ... a spellbinding festival" by The Sunday Times of London, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis is one of the nation's primary opera festivals, offering four operas annually. All operas are sung in English by some of the finest performers of this generation, with orchestral accompaniment by the St. Louis Symphony.
Enjoy the full Opera Theatre experience with pre-show picnics in the gardens, and post-show drinks with the singers under the starlight. The 2012 Festival Season features Bizet's "Carmen," Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd," Mozart's "Cosi fan tutte," and the much anticipated American premiere of Unsuk Chin’s and David Henry Hwang's new opera, "Alice in Wonderland."
Performances rotate nightly at the Loretto-Hilton Center on the campus of Webster University.
