Offering 50 Free Seats at Every Performance

In 2021, OTSL launched a ground-breaking initiative to offer free seats at every performance. These free seats are available to any member of the community on a first come, first served basis — a first for our company and in the national opera scene. 

Named “Phyllis’ Seats” in honor of the late Phyllis Brissenden, one of Opera Theatre’s dearest friends and most generous supporters, this program provides 30 free tickets to every New Works Collective performance and 50 free tickets to every Festival Season performance. Phyllis’ Seats may be reserved online or by phone in weekly lotteries at 10:30 a.m. every Monday (during applicable performance weeks).

If you see a “Sold Out” notification next to your desired performance, please check back periodically as other patrons may choose to donate additional seats to this program.
