The internationally noted [[Glimmerglass Festival]] is closely associated with Cooperstown. Founded in 1975, the company originally performed in the [[Cooperstown Junior/Senior High School]] auditorium. In 1987, the company relocated to farmland donated by Tom Goodyear of the Cary Mede Estate {{convert|8|mi|km}} north of the village, where the [[Alice Busch Opera Theater]] was built, the first new opera-specific hall in the United States built since 1966. It has a popular summer season with a reputation for producing high quality opera and commissioning new works.<ref>{{cite web|title=ALICE BUSCH OPERA THEATER|url=http://glimmerglass.org/your-visit/glimmerglass/allice-busch-opera-theater/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702093354/http://glimmerglass.org/your-visit/glimmerglass/allice-busch-opera-theater/|archive-date=July 2, 2015|access-date=June 28, 2015|website=The Glimmerglass Festival|publisher=The Glimmerglass Festival}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Hardy|first=Hugh|title=Theater of Architecture|publisher=Princeton Architectural Press|year=2013|location=New York|pages=185–189}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Anderson|first=Grace|date=1988|title=Open-air opera|journal=Architectural Record|issue=August|pages=90–93}}</ref>
