Opera Philadelphia

Opera is cool again. Don’t believe us? Check out the ambitious festival Opera Philadelphia is debuting in September, which will have more than 29 performances, including three world premieres, taking place around town. (We’ll be at the one outdoors on Independence Mall.) Now all you need to figure out is where to get opera glasses these days.
