About

GLIMMERGLASS IS AN EIGHT-WEEK SUMMER FESTIVAL, ANNUALLY PRESENTING 42-TO-44 PERFORMANCES OF FOUR ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS OF OPERA AND CLASSIC BROADWAY IN ROTATING REPERTORY IN ITS 900-SEAT THEATER. GLIMMERGLASS HAS EARNED AN INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION AS A CREATIVE CENTER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF RARE AND FAMILIAR REPERTORY PRESENTED IN INNOVATIVE STAGINGS, BRINGING TOGETHER ACCLAIMED ARTISTIC TEAMS TO GENERATE NEW PRODUCTIONS DURING UNIQUELY-LENGTHY REHEARSAL PERIODS. THESE MAIN STAGE PERFORMANCES ARE AUGMENTED BY AN ARRAY OF ANCILLARY PROGRAMS TO CREATE A FESTIVAL ATMOSPHERE: CONCERTS BY DISTINGUISHED GUESTS ARTISTS; A SEASON-LONG SERIES OF INTIMATE MUSICAL SHOWCASES (MEET ME AT THE PAVILION) AND LECTURES (SHOWTALK); Q&AS WITH SINGERS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING PERFORMANCES; PRE-PERFORMANCE PREVIEWS; AND REPERTORY-RELATED EXHIBITIONS AT NEARBY MUSEUMS. A CORNERSTONE OF GLIMMERGLASS' EFFORTS IS ITS RENOWNED PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION TRAINING PROGRAMS, ENGAGING ON AVERAGE 40 EMERGING SINGERS AND 60 YOUNG ARTS ADMINISTRATION AND THEATER TECHNICIANS FOR ITS YOUNG ARTISTS PROGRAM (YAP) AND SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. YOUNG ARTISTS PERFORM SECONDARY SOLO AND CHORAL ROLES IN ALL MAIN STAGE PRODUCTIONS, PERFORM THE MAJORITY OF THE MEET ME AT THE PAVILION SHOWCASES AND ARE GIVEN THEIR OWN PERFORMANCE ANNUALLY OF ONE OF THE SEASON'S SELECTIONS. ENHANCING THE YAP IS THE ENGAGEMENT ANNUALLY OF AN ARTIST IN RESIDENCE, AN INTERNATIONALLY-ACCLAIMED PRINCIPAL SINGER WHO PERFORMS A LEAD ROLE IN ONE OF THE SEASON'S PRODUCTIONS, PRESENTS A CONCERT AND SERVES AS PRIMARY MENTOR TO THE YOUNG ARTISTS. SUMMER INTERNS WORK IN ALL AREAS OF OPERATIONS, FROM PRODUCTION TO ADMINISTRATION, GAINING INVALUABLE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE.
