IF YOU GO The best time to go is during the opera season, between October and May. Performances are held on Saturday nights and reservations for both the show and the hotel are a good idea as the 125-seat theater does sell out and the 12-room hotel fills up. The Opera House: Ticket prices are $15.00 for adults, $12.00 for children 5-12 years old The Hotel: Rooms range from $45.00 - $60.00 For information and reservations:
