New York’s second opera company, which was paralysed well before Covid by financial and other difficulties, has roused itself sufficiently to appoint a music director and announce a first production.

The new chief is Constantine Orbelian, a close friend of the late Dmitri Hvorostovsky.

The first production will be Rigoletto on Sunday, August 29 at the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice in Kingston, New York, repeated the following Friday as part of Bryant Park’s annual Picnic Performance series.
