The Glimmerglass Festival will not host any live performances in summer 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The well-being of the Glimmerglass Festival community has guided our decisions, and always will. In the months ahead, we will redouble our efforts in three key areas: safety, education, and community.
Join us this summer, when we head back to the theater with four new productions. New Ticket Packages on sale November 15. All tickets on sale January 24, 2022.
