A Night of Opera and Broadway at SALT Performing Arts
SALT Performing Arts is set to host a special evening that brings together the elegance of opera and the magic of Broadway. The event, titled “Puccini to Phantom | A Night to Remember,” will take place on August 1 and offer the community an unforgettable experience. This gala concert aims to support local arts and outreach initiatives while celebrating the power of performing arts.
The concert will be held from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Chester County History Center. It promises to be an elegant affair, featuring internationally acclaimed Metropolitan Opera tenor Richard Troxell. Troxell has been a strong supporter of SALT’s mission, and his personal connection to the organization comes through his son’s involvement in the theater’s youth programs. He will share the stage with celebrated pianist Laura Ward and prominent Mainstage performers Maggie Riker, Emily Merow, Kai Kasiguran, and others.
The program will showcase beloved opera arias and Broadway favorites, including selections from Phantom of the Opera. The performance will be presented in a cabaret-style format, designed to create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of a garden party. This unique setting allows attendees to enjoy the music in a more personal and engaging way.
Tickets for the event are available at two levels, offering different experiences for guests. The first option is a $25 general admission “Donation Ticket,” which provides access to the concert. For those looking for a more exclusive experience, the $75 “Event Sponsor Ticket” includes prime seating, a private champagne and dessert reception with the artists, and a signed CD from Richard Troxell.
SALT Performing Arts has long been committed to fostering youth development and community outreach. The organization continues to support various efforts, such as donations to the Chester County Food Bank. This event not only celebrates the arts but also reinforces SALT’s dedication to making a positive impact in the community.
Guests are encouraged to dress in “Garden Party Chic” attire, adding to the festive and elegant ambiance of the evening. Attendees will also have the chance to participate in interactive activities, such as “Vote-for-a-Song,” where they can help choose which pieces will be performed. This engagement adds a unique and memorable element to the concert experience.
“Puccini to Phantom | A Night to Remember” highlights SALT Performing Arts’ commitment to combining artistic excellence with community service. It offers supporters a unique opportunity to celebrate and sustain the local performing arts scene. By attending this event, guests contribute directly to the continued growth and success of SALT’s programs.
