“The safety of our audience is first and foremost, and the air-conditioned Shubert Theater will comfortably accommodate all those who were planning to attend Dueling Divas on the New Haven Green. Though the performance won’t take place outside, our musicians and warring sopranos will bring the same sense of magic and romance to the stage,” said William Boughton, Music Director of the NHSO.
