More fun than a barrel of Pagliacci! OPERA SARATOGA has created the most inventive online gala imaginable. Attendees are gifted with a bag of booty (swag), a treasure map, “jewels”, an eye patch, and other pirate paraphenalia. Pajamas are optional, clothing is not! Aaargh.

Mystery mixes with entertainment, featuring highlights from “The Pirates of Penzance”, “Pirate Jenny” from “The Threepenny Opera”, and other pirate-themed selections. Viewers won prizes for best eyepatch and other creative touches. Now and then a clue was revealed to trace on the map. In-between, charming suggestions that one contribute generously to Opera Saratoga. The online auction continues via the link above.

All entertainment organizations are struggling due to COVID. Events such as these help keep the venue in the public eye while aiding them financially. OPERA SARATOGA has set the bar for others. A truly delightful event.
