SEASON TICKETS

2023 Summer Festival

Welcome to Cincinnati Opera’s 2023 Summer Festival at Music Hall! As a season ticket holder, you’ll be among friends whose love for and support of opera yields big rewards—from priority seating to insider access, guaranteed parking options, a summer filled with beauty, drama, and magic—and so much more!

Subscription ticket packages are no longer available for the 2023 Summer Festival. We invite you to review package options below for planning and consideration next season. Subscription packages for the 2024 Summer Festival will be available in early fall 2023.


WANT THE SAME SEATS FOR EACH PERFORMANCE?

Choose either a Weeknight or Weekend package, save up to 15% off single ticket prices, and enjoy the same great seats for each show. GOLD series includes all four operas (Lucia di Lammermoor, The Knock*, The Barber of Seville, and Madame Butterfly), and SILVER series includes the three mainstage operas (Lucia di Lammermoor, The Barber of Seville, and Madame Butterfly).

The Box Office staff is ready to assist, discuss options, make recommendations, and handle your every need. Please call us at 513-241-2742 (Mon.-Fri.; 12:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.)

*Seating for THE KNOCK is general admission in Wilks Studio at Music Hall.


WANT TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN SHOWS AND DATES?

You can! Select the Create Your Own season ticket option and you choose the dates and performances—including our new Studio Sessions cabaret performances—that work best for you. We’ll assign the best available seats for each before tickets go on sale to the general public.

The best seats available will be assigned for each performance in your preferred price zone. The locations may vary depending on performance date. If you would like to discuss options, please call the Box Office at 513-241-2742 (Mon.-Fri.; 12:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.)
