Central City Opera kicks off 90th annual Summer Festival with three performances at the historic Opera House.
“Back in 1978 is actually when the Opera House was built by Cornish and Welsh miners,” explained Pamela Pantos, President & CEO of Central City Opera. “They were riding the Gold Rush. And obviously, those cultures have such a tradition of sung word.”
The 2022 summer festival features three mainstage productions, one classic, one modern musical, and one remembrance opera. The festival begins with “The Light in the Piazza”, a Tony Award winning musical set in 1950’s Italy. The classic “Die Fledermaus” is second up in the festival. Set in Vienna, it’s sung in German, and the dialog is in English.
The Central City Opera Board of Directors appointed Pantos as President & CEO in February of this year. A former performer, Pantos has also held executive level positions at several arts organizations. She said that’s she’s excited to be with Central City Opera as it celebrates its 90“Working with Artistic Director Pat Pierce.
