We are incredibly honored to be recognized by WQXR's Operavore, Fred Plotkin, for best small company performance! It's been a very exciting year for us, and we are grateful to work with a such dedicated passionate artists.
Small Company Performance: Loft Opera Company--Don Giovanni in May and Le Nozze di Figaro in November. This is the most exciting little company I have encountered in a while. Performances are done with limited means but great intelligence and seriousness in a loft in the Gowanus Canal area of Brooklyn. Audiences, mostly quite young, sit on benches, drink Brooklyn Beer and are surrounded by the performers. The secret to Loft Opera’s success is that they take the music, words and dramaturgy as composer and librettist intended. In so doing, these operas become more relevant and pleasurable than any gimmicky concept could offer. They will perform La Bohème in the last two weeks of February.
