LYRIC OPERA SAN DIEGO ANNOUNCES ITS
2010-11 SEASON OF TOP-NOTCH, AFFORDABLE ENTERTAINMENT!
Lyric Opera San Diego takes audiences on a musical trip around the world in its 32nd season, filled with crowd-pleasing musical masterpieces.
"Our commitment is to remain the best live entertainment value in San Diego," said General Director Leon Natker. "For less than the cost of one ticket at many other opera companies, you can purchase an entire subscription of four shows at Lyric Opera San Diego, with something for every taste in the coming season."
All productions in the 2010-11 season feature Lyric Opera's own live orchestra and talented singers, performed at Birch North Park Theatre. Lerner & Loewe's "Gigi," based on the classic film musical of the same name, shares the first half of the season with Rossini's comic opera, "The Barber of Seville." In spring 2010, the company revives its very popular production of Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Gondoliers," and the season ends with the Broadway smash "Fiddler on the Roof."
Subscription renewals AND new subscriptions are $108, $128, $148, $168 or $188 for all four shows. Full season subscribers will receive complimentary tickets to our Pre-Show lectures.
Regular single tickets go on sale July 15.
