Tulsa Opera Postpones EMMELINE
The opera will be rescheduled for the 2022-23 season.
Ken McConnell, General Director of Tulsa Opera, and Tobias Picker, Artistic Director of Tulsa Opera, announced today that the company's new production of Mr. Picker's opera Emmeline to be performed Friday, February 25 and Sunday, February 27 at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center has been postponed.
The opera will be rescheduled for the 2022-23 season.
"Like many arts organizations around the country, we have been monitoring the ever-changing public health situation relating to COVID-19 and have made the difficult decision to postpone this production," said Mr. McConnell. "We believe this is our most responsible course of action in terms of the safety of our company, audiences, and artists."
Ticketholders may:
- Retain their tickets for the rescheduled performance. Information will be forthcoming.
- Donate the ticket value to Tulsa Opera's annual fund. Such donations are tax deductible and ensure the financial strength of Tulsa Opera.
- Request a refund.
Questions about ticket exchanges and refunds can be directed by phone to the Tulsa Opera ticket office: 918-582-3133, open Monday-Friday, 9:00am to 1:30pm.
The new production of Emmeline, directed by Tara Faircloth and conducted by Francesco Cilluffo, has been an especially anticipated production as it is the first opera by Mr. Picker to be staged by Tulsa Opera since the composer was appointed the company's Artistic Director in 2016.
Tulsa Opera opened its 2021-22 season in October with Puccini & Verdi Play Ball, which featured a new production of Puccini's Gianni Schicchi directed by James Blaszko and a selection of Puccini and Verdi arias performed outdoors at ONEOK Field, home of the Tulsa Drillers baseball team.
Tulsa Opera's season is scheduled to conclude with performances on Friday, April 29 and Sunday, May 1 at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center of a new audience immersive production of Richard Strauss' Salome directed by Tulsa-born Thaddeus Strassberger and featuring soprano Patricia Racette in the title role.
