The Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre has announced it is emerging from a yearlong COVID pandemic hiatus to perform four âintimateâ stage productions this summer.

âYou know, when we first started planning all of this, things were a little different than they are now,â UFOMT Managing Director Gary Griffin said. âBack then masks were required and everything so we couldnât really use the orchestra. As a result, the shows that we decided to do are smaller shows more suited to a smaller theater like the Utah. Weâd be lost in the Eccles, but weâll be back there next year.â�
