Student tickets for HD at the Opera House are $12. Tickets will go on sale starting Monday, April 22. “The Sarasota Opera House was originally a movie and vaudeville theater, so this is a perfect way to celebrate that tradition,” said General Director Richard Russell. “We are pleased to once again present our HD at the Opera House series after we were not able to present these films last year. We are also thrilled to be showing the 1952 classic film The Greatest Show on Earth which was filmed in Sarasota and had its world-premiere screening here at our Opera House.” All seats are general admission. Ticket buyers are encouraged to purchase tickets before arriving at the theater. Information and tickets can be found online at SarasotaOpera.org or by calling (941)328-1300.
