GLIMMEROPERA

  • Upstate New York’s summer opera company Glimmerglass is celebrating its 25th season. In 1987 it built the 914-seat Busch Opera House, the first new American opera house since the Metropolitan opened at Lincoln Center in 1966. “In 1996, Glimmerglass’s artistic director, Paul Kellogg, was also appointed general and artistic director of the New York City Opera (NYCO), and the two companies began sharing productions, a development that financially stabilized Glimmerglass while artistically invigorating the City Opera.” – The Globe and Mail (Canada)
