We are disappointed that this year's Festival was cancelled due to the pandemic. We will miss the live music and the feeling of community it brings. Work has already begun on the 2021 Festival which we hope will be our best yet! Stay safe everyone and see you next year.

Founded in 1986, Summer Opera Lyric Theatre has been bringing together young vocalists, professional singers and teachers of great stature. SOLT features the stars of tomorrow, as our young artists advance towards careers at the national and international level. Sadly, SOLT 2020 Opera Mini-Festival is cancelled due to the COVID-19 and concerns for the safety of our audience and artists.

Please support Summer Opera Lyric Theatre and many emerging artists.

2020 SUMMER MUSIC GUIDE

Welcome to The WholeNote’s 16th annual Green Pages guide to summer music! To state the obvious, it is not "business as usual" this summer due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, we invited summer music festivals, the usual way, to let you know what they're up to and how they are adapting to the times. We've received the responses listed below, some to say they have cancelled outright, others to say they are offering live-streamed and other online events they hope you’ll tune in to, and still others to say “Like many of you, we don’t know what is coming next yet, but please stay tuned.” So have a look at the profiles presented here, to stay connected to the music you love and the creative artists and individuals who are pivoting to other platforms in these unusual times. Wishing you all a happy and healthy summer!
