This US opera just went from 4 shows with piano to 9 with orchestra
mainMaryland Lyric Opera has expanded into a full 2018-2019 season with La Fanciulla del West (in concert) and Lucia di Lammermoor (fully staged).
That’s seriously good news for the Washington-Baltimore area.
Excellent news, good for them.
Can’t read it, too small font!
Got to see my optician.
HELP!
Is there are reason for this? It’s terrific news, how can other’s match the success?
This is fabulous news! I remember when this was the Baltimore Civic Opera, under the direction of Rosa Ponselle. I spent many wonderful evenings at the Lyric Theatre while growing up in Baltimore, being enthralled by the presentations of grand opera. BRAVO BALTIMORE!!!!
The entire season contains only one staged opera, and a concert performance of another. Not what would normally be called a full season. Still, in Baltimore, one of the most decimated of America’s legion of decimated cities, their efforts are indeed heroic and most welcomed.
