There is new student pricing being introduced for the cinema opera series this year. For Utah-area students who may have never experienced opera before, this is an opportunity to sample the art form in the comfort of a local movie theater. You can even wear shorts and snack on hot dogs.Special student ticket prices range from $11.50 - $20 (almost half of the regular ticket price and a fraction of the $360 cost to see the Met live in New York). Here's a listing of the movie theaters in the Salt Lake City area that are showing these live operas and offering student pricing:
