GETTING
TO GLIMMERGLASS
Nestled between
the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains on Otsego Lake, Glimmerglass Opera performs
in the Alice Busch Opera Theater, on Route 80, eight miles north of the quaint
Village of Cooperstown. Details on traveling to Cooperstown can be found by clicking
here.
THE ALICE BUSCH OPERA THEATER
Built in 1987, our theater has unique sliding walls that allow fresh air into the theater before the opera and during intermission. During matinees, the walls must remain closed for the consideration of the performers on stage, but the walls are frequently open for evening performances. There is no air conditioning or heat in the opera house, so please dress comfortably and weather-appropriately.
THE GLIMMERGLASS EXPERIENCE
The magic of your
Glimmerglass Experience begins when you arrive at our lakeside festival site.
This is the perfect summer getaway, surrounded by rolling hills, beautiful parks
and crystal-clear lakes. In addition to internationally-acclaimed opera, we're
sure you'll love all the festival has to offer. Click
