Imaginative, adventurous, accessible, American and young, New York City Opera was founded with the purpose of making great opera available to a modern, popular audience, and of keeping opera great by maintaining a modern, popular touch. For more than sixty years, since Mayor Fiorello La Guardia established its reputation as “The People’s Opera,” the company has stayed true to its original promise: introducing generation after generation of young singers who are stars in the making, bringing the public exciting new works and compelling, fresh interpretations of classics, acting as a champion for American composers and performers and ensuring that today’s opera, and tomorrow’s, can be a part of everyone’s life.

Donizetti’s
THE ELIXIR OF LOVE
March 22 - April 9
http://www.nycopera.com/calendar/view.aspx?id=12515
“An irresistible opera: silly and sweet and bubbling over with whistle-able tunes."
-The New York Times
Donizetti’s beloved classic is reimagined with American swagger in Jonathan Miller’s inventive production, which moves the action to the 1950s Southwest to tell the tale of a shy young man who buys a love potion from a traveling salesman in an effort to cure his broken heart.
This heart-warming comedy features exciting young voices performing some of the most recognizable melodies in opera including the popular bel canto aria “Una furtive lagrima.” Soprano Stefania Dovhan, who earned rave reviews for her portrayal of Donna Anna in last season’s Don Giovanni, returns as the heart’s desire of the underdog suitor, sung by rising Mexican tenor David Lomeli in his City Opera debut.
