Tickets for Liza Minnelli at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House go on sale at 11 a.m. Wednesday to Bardavon members.

Minnelli, whose mother was actress Judy Garland, will perform May 17 at the Bardavon.

Tickets cost $225, $175 and $125. These tickets go on sale to the public at 11 a.m. April 17.
The $225 tickets include premier seating, post-show party at the Bull and Buddha restaurant and bar on Main Street in Poughkeepsie, and a tax-deductible contribution.
The $175 ticket includes preferred seating and tax-deductible contribution.

The $125 tickets include admission to the performance.

Minnelli is one of the world's best-known entertainers, having appeared in such films as "Cabaret" and on Broadway in "Chicago." She joins a long list of notable entertainers who have performed at the Bardavon Gala — Tony Bennett and Diana Ross, among them — on a stage that has hosted Mark Twain, Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan.

Minnelli's May concert — she will be backed by a seven-piece band — will mark the first time she performs in Poughkeepsie.

"We're thrilled," said Bardavon Executive Director Chris Silva, "to have Liza at our gala this year."
