OPERAS, POPS, JAZZ AND MORE: Storm Large stars in Kurt Weill’s “The Seven Deadly Sins” at the June 10 opening of the Princeton Festival, outdoor at Trinity Church and Morven.

The Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) has announced that tickets are now available for the 18^th Princeton Festival, June 10-25, by phone at (609) 497-0020 and online at Princetonsymphony.org/festival.

This year’s festival will include three staged operas, chamber music, orchestral and pops concerts, plus cabaret and jazz nights all taking place under the festival’s outdoor performance tent being erected on the grounds of Morven Museum & Garden. Baroque concerts will be held across the way at Trinity Episcopal Church.

The new artistic head of the Princeton Festival responsible for its creative programming is Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s Edward T. Cone Music Director Rossen Milanov. “This is an extraordinary event,” he said. “I love bringing a community together through shared musical experiences. My hope is that people who come to the festival will see it as a relaxed and welcoming environment in which to try something new, like attend an opera, sit in on a jazz set, or learn about Baroque music. It is all that a summer festival should be.”

Having recently merged with the Princeton Festival, the PSO plays an integral role, both as Festival organizer and performance orchestra. The orchestra is performing in the opening concert starring Storm Large and, later in the Festival, accompanying Broadway star Sierra Boggess. It will also provide the music underlying three operas: a double bill which pairs Derrick Wang’s opera Scalia/Ginsburg about the two Supreme Court justices with W. A. Mozart’s The Impresario centered on rival divas, and Benjamin Britten’s only comic opera, Albert Herring. The Festival is capped by a family pops concert of orchestral favorites.

All performances start at 7 p.m. with the exception of the opening night concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m. The festival opens June 10 with Kurt Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins, starring Storm Large, on a program with Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite. Future programs include a Stephen Sondheim tribute, the Baroque ensemble The Sebastians, an exploration of Schubert’s String Quartet in D Minor with musicologist Ron Kapilow, and several other events.

Tickets range from $10-$130; ticket packages are $18 and up. For a full list and details, visit princetonsymphony.org/festival.
