Glimmerglass Opera: Oklahoma!

Register by May 8! Enjoy orchestra seating for Rodgers & Hammerstein’s beloved musical in its return to the Alice Busch Opera Theater in a bold new production directed by Francesca Zambello and conducted by James Lowe. Set on the cusp of statehood, Oklahoma! celebrates both the aspirations and complexities of settlers forging new lives on the frontier. This fresh staging evokes the sweep of the American landscape and the resilient optimism of the artists who created the work amid the turmoil of World War II. A landmark of musical theater and a quintessential love story, Oklahoma! also invites audiences to reflect on the enduring promise of America. En route, Walter Carroll will offer a pre-concert lecture on the music and artistry of the production. Enjoy a boxed picnic lunch on the theater grounds, followed by an insightful pre-concert exploration led by an expert member of the music staff.
