One of the things that makes being a student in Boston worth the cost (we know about the cost, we were students once, too) is getting to see great performances by great performers for amazingly low prices. We know a lot of students make the mistake of thinking that big time, famous, larger than life performers always sell their shows out. This is not always so. For example, soprano Renee Fleming's recital this afternoon (or is 5 o'clock "evening"?) is well sold, but not so well sold that there will not be quite a number of student rush tickets available today at $20 each. How often does one get the chance to hear one of the leading sopranos of our time for 20 bucks? With the exception of those Metropolitan Opera cinematic broadcasts the answer is not often.
Oh, and by the way, there will be plenty of student rush tickets available for the April 28-May 3 run of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater at the Opera House (nice sight lines!).
The details as to how, when and what to bring (like a student ID) are all here.
