Revived New York City Opera Gets Busy With Its First Full Season

The re-founded company’s plans for 2016-17 look more like what its team had been promising than did this year’s hastily assembled season. There will be only one warhorse, paired with a less-familiar title; the return of a star director (Harold Prince) to a landmark production from the ’80s; the long-delayed New York premiere of a well-known 21st-century opera; and two chamber works, one a Spanish Baroque rarity and the other a “CNN opera”. The new City Opera has even announced its first commission.
