Brooklyn Repertory Opera to offer $5.00 tickets to unemployed New
Yorkers

In an effort to make sure that New Yorkers hit by the current economic
hard times can still enjoy live performing arts, Brooklyn Repertory
Opera will offer discounted tickets to it's upcoming run of Gluck's
"Orpheus and Eurydice" (3/20 @ 7:30 PM and 3/21, 3/28, 3/29 at 3:30 PM).
 The discounted tickets will be priced at $5.00 and may be purchased by
anyone presenting a current unemployment insurance check stub at the box
office on the day of the performance.  There is a limit of one ticket
per purchaser.

In conjunction with the special ticket pricing, the Brooklyn Lyceum Cafe
will roll back the price of a cup of coffee to just 5 cents for all
persons attending "Orpheus and Eurydice".

This production is fully staged with orchestra and is conducted by Harry
Saltzman.  Maestro Saltzman was a Professor of Music at Brooklyn
College's Conservatory of Music, where he conducted the chorus and
orchestra.  He retired in 1999, and these performances mark his return
to the podium.

General admission tickets for "Orpheus and Eurydice" are $20, while
student and senior tickets are $10.  Group rates are also available. 
Brooklyn Lyceum is located at 227 4th Ave, Brooklyn, New York (located
on the corner of President and 4th Avenue).  It is accessible to the R
Subway at the Union Street stop.  For reservations or more information,
call (866) 469-2687 or visit www.bropera.org.
