Kathleen Sykes, social media manager for the Utah Symphony and Utah Opera, said people on Twitter were upset that no one would be able to see the production. “I can’t think of a better production to start coming back to live theater,” Sarah Coit, who plays Rosina in the production, said.

However, in March of 2020, the Utah Opera had to cancel the show the day before their final dress rehearsal due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Utah Opera will start the season in October with Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville.” This opera was supposed to be performed during the 2020-21 season. “I miss the communal feeling of seeing something spectacular on stage.” “One of the things I miss most about live theater is our audience,” Christopher McBeth, artistic director of the Utah Opera, said during a Facebook livestream announcing the upcoming season. The Utah Opera is returning to the Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theater for the 2021-22 season. After having to cut their last season short, the Utah Opera is returning to the Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theater for live performances in the 2021-22 season.
