In an email to supporters and ticket holders, Scott Lykins, artistic and executive director of the festival, expressed deep regret over the decision, noting a number of precautions were in place to reduce the chances of coronavirus transmission. All performers were vaccinated, organizers reported, including those who tested positive.
The festival’s opera productions have been an audience favorite for nearly a decade, and this year’s production of Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rake’s Progress” set Aug. 14-15 is sure to be no exception.
