Opera Philadelphia Tickets for 2016-2017 Season Go on Sale Aug. 1

Tickets go on sale on Monday, August 1, for Opera Philadelphia's 2016-2017 Season, including two September productions: the World Premiere of Breaking the Waves, composer Missy Mazzoli's opera inspired by Lars von Trier's searing Oscar-nominated 1996 film; and Puccini's grand Turandot starring soprano Christine Goerke in the title role. Tickets are also available for a series of special fall events surrounding these productions, including lectures, recitals, film screenings, brunches, backstage tours, and social events. Opera fans can also choose their seats for two spring productions at the Academy of Music: Rossini's Tancredi (February 2017), featuring star mezzo Stephanie Blythe's highly anticipated first appearance in the title role; and a new production of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro (April-May 2017).

Single tickets will be available at operaphila.org or 215.732.8400 beginning at 10 a.m. A fifth production, the American Premiere Tour of Third World Bunfight's Democratic Republic of the Congo-set Macbeth (September 24 & 25, 2016), presented as part of the 2016 Fringe Festival, is currently on sale at fringearts.com.
