"Nature plays a major role here too
    ... from afternoon thundershowers, followed by the invigorating aroma of big sage and pinon, to sunsets and celestial views that flood our skies."

    Prelude Talks

    Enhance Your ExperienceThese lively and informative talks are offered in Stieren Orchestra Hall twice before most performances. The first talk is given two hours before the performance and the second is one hour before. Prelude Talks begin July 2 and are free to ticket holders. For best availability, we suggest the first talk. Prelude Talks are not offered on Opening Weekend (June 27 and 28) or on Apprentice Scenes nights (August 10 and 17).
