FREE tickets to Opera Philadelphia's HD broadcast of The Barber of Seville will be available to the public starting on Wednesday, September 3. You can score your free tickets to Opera on the Mall beginning at 10 a.m. at operaonthemall.org.

On Saturday, Sept. 27, at 7:00 p.m., the community will gather together to enjoy the opening of the cultural season with the funniest of all comic operas. Opera Philadelphia's season-opening performance of Rossini's The Barber of Seville will be broadcast in high definition from the stage of the Academy of Music to a giant outdoor screen in the shadow of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.

This is the fourth year Opera Philadelphia will launch its season with a free broadcast at Independence National Historical Park. Last year, nearly 4,000 guests enjoyed the broadcast of Verdi's Nabucco from their picnic blankets and chairs.
