The four blockbuster operas of the 2006-2007 Season are cast with major star voices, and represent the finest and most beloved works of composer-giants Puccini, Rossini, Verdi and Gershwin! And there’s even more cause to celebrate: Join us as we mark the 150th season of Philadelphia’s historic Academy of Music, opened in 1857 and, today, America’s oldest, time-honored opera house which we are are proud to call our home.

Only at the opera may you experience orchestral and choral splendor, the drama and spectacle of great theater, and the simple, soaring beauty of the voice — all wrapped into one beautiful event.

But remember, only subscribers are guaranteed seats! With operas that are sure to draw crowds, a host of benefits we’ve tailored for you, you can’t afford not to subscribe!

We look forward to seeing you at the Opera!
