Why Subscribe?

Lots of reasons . . .

Hundreds upon hundreds of new subscribers, along with thousands of existing ones, find that season tickets to the Opera are the perfect antidote for our hyper-hectic times.  Why?

THERE’S MAGIC IN THE OPERA HOUSE

It’s one of the few places left in the world where all of your senses are simultaneously soothed and energized.  A spa . . . for the soul.

We’ll turn the lights down.  Let you get used to the dark and the quiet.  Then raise the curtain on a world like you’ve never known before . . .

. . . where pure, unadulterated, unamplified voices—beautiful beyond belief—soar, entwine, and spin almost visibly before you.  And the stories they’ll tell, the images they’ll leave will linger long after the lights come back up.

Months later, when those memories begin to lose their sharpness, and the hectic world once again begins to overwhelm your spirit, it’ll be time to gather once again . . . at the Magic Opera House.

Where your special seat will be waiting.  

Just for you.

AND THEN THERE’S THE FACT THAT . . .
Opera subscribers get the best of everything.
