In the pit during Open House, 2010. |
Find out how an opera is brought to life with a backstage tour and behind-the-scenes peak at the action. The tour will lead you through the process of how opera is put on the stage from the very beginning when casting is done to the curtain rising. This journey will take you backstage, to the orchestra pit, in the wings, and on stage. You will stop at stations at which you will learn about such aspects as hair and makeup, costumes, props, staging, and the rehearsal process.
Tours are approximately an hour in length and leave from the lobby of the Centennial Concert Hall every 20 minutes from noon until 4:00 pm. Tours are free of charge, but registration is required.
