The Glimmerglass Festival, among the top opera festivals in the world, has programmed an exhilarating 50th anniversary season that centers artists and creators, celebrates opera and musical theater legends, and introduces a thrilling World Premiere. Glimmerglass's Artistic & General Director Rob Ainsley spoke with us about the season, which runs from Jully 11 through August 17, and about Destined to Glimmerglass, a celebration of the 50th anniversary and a commitment to the future of the festival.
The 2025 Glimmerglass Festival season opens with the heart-stopping sonic spectacle Tosca (Puccini/Illica & Giacosa). It continues with the gloriously rich and powerful Sunday in The Park With George (Sondheim/Sondheim & Lapine) and the lively and riveting The Rake’s Progress (Stravinsky/Auden & Kallman). The season will also feature the world premiere of The House on Mango Street, based on the classic book, with a libretto by renowned and celebrated author Sandra Cisneros and a score by GRAMMY-nominee Derek Bermel.
