TICKET INFORMATION (please read carefully)

Ticket "vouchers" are available from dell'Arte staff at the theater starting at 2 p.m.  Like the voucher system for "Shakespeare in the Park" you may only collect a voucher for yourself, and not for the rest of your party.

Handicapped access seating is available, and we do accept advance requests for those with physical issues preventing them from standing in line.  Please e-mail dellarteopera@aol.com by noon, Friday, August 27 for such special requests.

Cast and Staff vouchers MUST be picked up by the time the house opens at 2:40.  Any such unclaimed vouchers will be released to the general public at that time.

Arrive Early!  For our Trittico production, all vouchers were "spoken for" long before curtatin!  Don't miss out on this exciting final production of our 2010 SRP Season!

Königskinder
(The King's Children)
by Engelbert Humperdinck

dell'Arte Opera Ensemble will present a very special 100th anniversary production of Humperdinck's "other" opera (Hänsel und Gretel being his most famous work) as our 2010 BlackBox Series production.  Premiered at the Metropolitan Opera on December 28, 1910, it has been performed only infrequently since, despite a haungtingly moving story and masterful score.  Fanciful costumes, German fairy-tale elements, and great sung story-telling.  Visit The Konigskinder Project for more information.
