Utah Symphony | Utah Opera
Offers Free Concert
at the Gallivan Center
Utah Symphony | Utah Opera offers free concert at The Gallivan Center in recognition of support from the RDA.
Utah Symphony | Utah Opera is partnering with the newly renovated Gallivan Center and Utah Lyric Opera to present a free performance on the plaza featuring the Utah Symphony and several locally-based opera singers, July 14 at 7 p.m.
The Utah Symphony will be led by Associate Conductor David Cho with guest artists Melinda Ammons, Darrell Babidge, Millinee Bannister, Christopher Holmes, Isaac Hurtado, Chad Millar and nationally-renowned soprano Jennifer Welch-Babidge. Together they will perform a variety of orchestral highlights and scenes from popular operas such as “Die Fledermaus,” “La Boheme,” “The Marriage of Figaro,” “Carmen” and “The Barber of Seville.”
As part of the Gallivan Center’s new season of summer events, this performance will give attendees a look at the plaza’s renovations, including a relocated ice skating rink with a state-of-the-art chilling system, an expansion of the amphitheater viewing area, and the addition of a new multi-purpose building along 200 South. This new building will contain ice rink services, a concession stand, permanent restroom facilities and a second floor, glass-enclosed space for parties, meetings, weddings and other private events.
The concert is also being offered in recognition of the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of Salt Lake City and its support of Utah Symphony | Utah Opera.
In the fall of 2003, the Utah Opera Production Studios (336 N. 400 W.) reopened after extensive expansion and remodeling funded in part by the Salt Lake City RDA. The Production Studios – which houses Utah Opera’s costume shop, scenic shop, rehearsal facilities, coaching studios, dance studio and administrative offices – have since been able to support better production capabilities, better communications and efficiency among staff, and expansion of Utah Opera’s set and costume rental enterprises.
The facility also serves as a gathering place for community groups and other non-profits, and allows Utah Symphony | Utah Opera to rehearse and prepare for its extensive educational and outreach programs that serve the community at large.
No tickets are necessary for this free event.
