The remaining single tickets are selling for $75 to $525 each, significantly more than the $25 to $300 they cost for the WNO’s last production, “Lost in the Stars.”įor the first time, the opera linked priority seating to a hefty donation. The majority, or some 17,000 seats, were sold in four-opera packages starting at $300 and climbing to $2,000. “Ring” cycle, that the Washington National Opera has sold about 90 percent of the 26,000 available tickets, with still four weeks to go. So passionate are “Ring” fans and so rare is a U.S. The Washington National Opera hopes to capitalize on its first complete “Ring” cycle - set to open at the Kennedy Center Opera House on April 30 - by asking patrons to pony up thousands for the best seats to Richard Wagner’s four-part epic. Maybe attending 17 hours of opera about the adventures of a phalanx of German gods and goddesses - featuring a cast of hundreds, not to mention splashy pyrotechnics - should cost a fortune.
