Behind-the-Scenes of Tri-Cities Opera’s “Haunted” Production
Tri-Cities Opera is preparing a special presentation that will feature what's billed as a "walk-through haunted house experience" at its Binghamton complex.
Opera executive director John Rozzoni said "Madness and the Medium" will pair an opera from the last century with four scenes of "murder and madness" from other operas.
The individual scenes will be staged in various sections of the large Tri-Cities Opera Center.
Rozzoni said the center's scene shop, paint area, prop area and storage area will be used to provide a "sort of haunted tour" that will culminate in a full production of The Medium in the theater.
He said the audience will find the immersive production "really intriguing" as they experience "the ghosts of these opera characters haunting the opera center."
Rozzoni said he believes the production will be fun and will bring "opera a lot closer to the audience."
"Madness and the Medium" will be presented October 21 through 23 at the Tri-Cities Opera Center at 315 Clinton Street in Binghamton.
Tickets may be obtained at the Tri-Cities Opera website tricitiesopera.com.
