Sarasota Opera plans a grand return next season
Having just completed a full season of indoor performances – something no other company in the country did during the coronavirus pandemic – leaders of Sarasota Opera are looking forward to a return to something that better resembles normal next year.
The company produced four small-scale, limited-cast, fully staged one-act operas, most of them rarely seen works, between February and April for its 62nd season. Audiences were limited to about 250 people in the 1,100-seat theater, but the company video recorded the productions and offered them for home streaming to stay connected with audiences who were not ready to attend in person.
