WEST CHESTER, PA — SALT Performing Arts will present “Puccini to Phantom | A Night to Remember” on August 1, inviting the community to an elegant evening blending opera and Broadway in support of local arts and outreach initiatives.
The gala concert, set for 7:00 to 9:00 PM at the Chester County History Center, will feature internationally acclaimed Metropolitan Opera tenor Richard Troxell. A strong supporter of SALT’s mission, Troxell has a personal connection through his son’s involvement in the theater’s youth programs. He will be joined by celebrated pianist Laura Ward and prominent Mainstage performers Maggie Riker, Emily Merow, Kai Kasiguran, and others.
The program will include beloved opera arias and Broadway favorites—including selections from Phantom of the Opera—presented in a cabaret-style format designed to evoke an intimate, garden-party atmosphere.
Tickets are available at two levels: a $25 general admission “Donation Ticket,” and a $75 “Event Sponsor Ticket,” which includes prime seating, a private champagne and dessert reception with the artists, and a signed CD from Troxell.
SALT Performing Arts, known for fostering youth development and community outreach, continues to support efforts such as donations to the Chester County Food Bank.
Guests are encouraged to dress “Garden Party Chic” and can participate in interactive activities like “Vote-for-a-Song” during the evening.
This special event highlights SALT’s commitment to combining artistic excellence with community service and offers supporters a unique opportunity to celebrate and sustain local performing arts.
Tickets and additional information are available at SALT’s official ticketing page.
