Tickets for the 2019 season of The Princeton Festival, which runs June 7-30, go on sale today on the Festival's website (www.princetonfestival.org), by phone at 609-258-2787, or in person.
This 15th anniversary season offers 22 performances of eight events:
The Festival also offers a slate of free events, including eight lectures relevant to the music being performed, the popular Artists' Round Table featuring performers and directors of the opera and musical, a reading of contemporary Chinese poetry, and a season preview. In addition, there will be two workshops: one on opera and another, limited to high school students, on performing in musicals.
"People who think they don't like opera, and especially modern opera, owe it to themselves to experience Nixon in China," said Richard Tang Yuk, the Festival's Executive and Artistic Director. "It is approachable, American, and very moving. The score integrates classical, jazz, and popular music, and the drama is a poetic and moving story of human frailties and aspirations."
Tang Yuk stresses that the rest of the 15th anniversary season is equally attractive. "Our other offerings include one of the most charming musicals ever written, an extraordinary pianist, and a superstar jazz vocalist. There are also a dozen fascinating and inspiring free lectures and workshops.
"If you love the performing arts, you'll want to visit Princeton this June."
Full descriptions of all offerings are available on the Festival website, with instructions for ordering tickets by phone, email, or online.
