Saratoga Performing Arts Center

For three weeks every summer, SPAC, as it is called, is home to the Philadelphia Orchestra. We were there for the final performance and what an amazing experience. The theater is open to the air, with a covering over the reserved seats (like the Concord Pavilion). The strong storms we have had throughout the trip hit before intermission and the house invited those seated on the lawn to find dry seats.

The concert included the Overture to William Tell, Rachmaninoff, Grieg, and Falla. It concluded with a breathtaking Bolero. The sky lit with fireworks as the concert ended and we made our way out of this impressive venue.
