An evening at Opera Theatre

Opera Theatre's Pavilion is among the great St. Louis summer pleasures. Lawns, trees, and abundant flowers make a cool and colorful setting for picnics before performances. Savor not only the performance but the whole evening; come early, enjoy cocktails, dinner, and a FREE “opera preview” by a member of the music staff. And celebrate afterward! The fact that everyone in the audience can meet the artists informally after the opera is one of the hallmarks of Opera Theatre. |

"The theater is set in a garden flickering with fireflies, where after the shows people don’t scoot for home but gather after curtain-fall to talk excitedly for an hour or more about what they’ve seen and heard.”
~Observer, London
"Add the pleasure of a beautiful evening at Opera Theatre, with its intimacy and atmosphere, and it's hard to think of a better way to spend a night in early summer.”
~St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“The fun of attending Opera Theatre begins with the immediacy of the experience...the audience buzzes with appreciation as they picnic on the lawn outside.”
~The Wall Street Journal
"To return each spring to Opera Theatre is to get your perceptions recharged. Watching and hearing this company operate is like breathing clean, bracing air.”
~Village Voice, New York
