Opera Saratoga celebrates its 60th anniversary with a Don Quixote lineup

Don Quixote is a book known by many but read by few, yet the message stands out as one that transcends time and place.

Its themes serve as a reminder that there is hope even when the challenges seem insurmountable, which is precisely the reason that Opera Saratoga will feature a summer festival full of Don Quixote-inspired works as it returns to the stage “post”-COVID.

The season will feature two fully staged productions: “Man of La Mancha,” by Dale Wasserman and “Don Quichotte at Camacho’s Wedding,” a one-act comic serenata.
