New Orleans Opera announces 2021-22 season
During a special live Zoom meeting with current New Orleans Opera subscribers on May 3, Clare Burovac, general director of the New Orleans opera announced, “The Opera is returning to the theater for the 2021-22 season!”
“This season captures so much of what we love about opera: it is bookended by the works of two great operatic composers, Wagner and Puccini. Between those productions, we have an exceptional evening of opera and dance, which honors an American icon, as well as a celebratory concert featuring some of the greatest music ever composed.” said Burovac. “As we take steps towards recovering from the effects of this pandemic, this season feels like a breath of fresh air like the sun rising after a long winter.”
