Central City Opera has announced that Saturday’s opening of their production of Kurt Weill’s “American Opera” Street Scene (July 13) would be canceled due to illness.

A statement released by the company today (July 10) stated:

“Due to a number of our artists testing positive for respiratory illness, we are canceling the Saturday, July 13 performance of Street Scene and all opening night activities. Our top priority is always the well-being of our cast, crew, and audience, and this decision was made in consultation with our artists, unions, and local officials in order to ensure everyone’s health and safety.”

The company offers three option to persons who hold tickets for Saturday:

1. Reschedule your tickets for another date;
2. Turn the value of your tickets into a tax-deductible gift to the Central City Opera; and
3. In case neither of the options above are suitable, receive a full refund.

In order to choose one of the three options, the Central City box office is asking patrons to fill out an online form that can be accessed HERE.

The remainder of the Central City Opera season is not affected by the cancellation, including all regularly scheduled performances of Street Scene during the remainder of the summer. You can see the full summer schedule on the Central City Opera calendar page.
