The Williamstown Theatre Festival preview production of Far from Heaven with Kelli O’Hara

Tickets for the spring season of Works & Process, the Guggenheim’s celebrated performing-arts series, are now on sale. Highlights include the Playwrights Horizons production of Far from Heaven, with Kelli O’Hara; the Metropolitan Opera’s new staging of Rigoletto, directed by Michael Mayer; an evening of performances of Steve Reich’s recent work; and a discussion with American Ballet Theatre on “What makes a versatile dancer?” For a complete listing of the spring season, see the schedule of events or download a PDF of the brochure.

Since 1984, Works & Process has championed new works and offered audiences unprecedented access to leading creators and performers. Each intimate, 80-minute performance uniquely combines artistic creation and stimulating conversation and takes place in the Guggenheim’s Frank Lloyd Wright–designed, 285-seat Peter B. Lewis Theater, where new, reserved seating is now offered. A food-and-wine reception for the audience and artists follows most programs. Described by the New York Times as “a popular series devoted to shedding light on the creative process,” Works & Process is produced by founder Mary Sharp Cronson. Past performance highlights can be viewed at youtube.com/worksandprocess.

Tickets are $35, $30 members, unless otherwise noted. See Works & Process or call the Box Office at 212 423 3587 for more information.
