New York City Opera's New Season



Exciting news awaits opera enthusiasts and culture aficionados in New York City, as the highly anticipated continuation of the Bryant Park summer series by the renowned New York City Opera is just around the corner. On August 18, 2023, attendees will be treated to a rendition of Rossini's timeless masterpiece, "The Barber of Seville."


Anticipation runs high as the production promises to be a grand affair, with a fully staged performance featuring the members of the illustrious New York City Opera Orchestra. Under the baton of accomplished conductors and the direction of visionary artists, the audience can expect an immersive experience that transcends boundaries of time and space.


In an official statement released by General Director Michael Capasso, he expressed unbridled delight at the prospect of returning for the 8th consecutive year as part of the Bryant Park Picnic Performances, generously presented by Bank of America. Over the years, these performances have evolved into increasingly elaborate productions, garnering widespread acclaim and drawing innumerable attendees from both the local New York community and tourists alike. The New York City Opera's unwavering commitment to providing world-class opera free of charge has rightfully earned them the endearing title of "The People's Opera."


The cultural experience doesn't end there, as the company has even more presentations in store. Following "The Barber of Seville," opera enthusiasts can revel in the company's rendition of Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, "Romeo and Juliet." This heartrending tale of love and destiny will undoubtedly tug at the heartstrings of all those in attendance, leaving a lasting impression on their souls.


Furthermore, in a unique and intimate experience, tenor Alessandro Lora is set to grace the stage in concert. As the summer sun sets over Bryant Park, the air will be filled with the enchanting melodies of opera, and the atmosphere will be charged with the palpable excitement of a community coming together to celebrate the rich tapestry of artistic expression. It is an event not to be missed!
