Michigan Opera Theatre postpones first performance of new season by a month

The Michigan Opera Theatre is pushing back the first performance of its 2021-2022 season in part to give patrons more time to get vaccinated.
A concert version of Cavalleria rusticana, originally planned for May 15, will now be performed June 12 at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre. The later date will take advantage of more favorable weather conditions but also allow patrons more time to get vaccinated, said opera theatre officials on Thursday.
“We may be postponing out of abundance of caution for our artists and audiences, but I am happy to say that our sensational cast will all be able to join us for the new performance date of Saturday, June 12,” Artistic Director Yuval Sharon said.
