Produced by Opera Saratoga in partnership with Proctors. The Barber of Seville is the hilarious story of a love triangle involving Dr. Bartolo, Count Almaviva and the charming Rosina. Figaro - the local barber who, in fact, does much more than cut hair - is the ultimate "wingman" for Count Almaviva, creating elaborate schemes, aliases and disguises to help him fool Dr. Bartolo and get the girl.

A silent disco is an activity where people dance to music listened to on wireless headphones. Rather than using a traditional speaker system, music is broadcast via a transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphones worn by the participants. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing without music.
7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 30. The Great Hall
The Big Takeover and Woody & the Rebel Alliance are the first acts in UPH's new series, In the Round. Fronted by the charismatic Jamaican-born singer and songwriter Nee Nee Rushie, the seven-piece New York band The Big Takeover plays original music that is rooted in and reverent toward the genres and rhythms of Jamaican pop: reggae, rocksteady, ska.
