Opera Philadelphia's Ambitious Budget Cut
Opera Philadelphia has reduced its budget by 20% due to financial challenges caused by the pandemic, cutting jobs and postponing productions. However, the company has not compromised on its ambition for its season-opening festival, Festival O. The festival features a world premiere opera, "10 Days in a Madhouse," along with a large-scale offering of Verdi's "Simon Boccanegra" and a staged recital, "Unholy Wars." Opera Philadelphia's commitment to premieres and groundbreaking work continues to make it a destination for those seeking something new in the opera world.
