New York Grand Opera update: Traviata and Aida for Summer 2008

The La Traviata performance was held on July 16th. The curtain call photo is above. Maestro La Selva is in the center (tux). I was the messenger (green costume) who brought the bad news to the tenor that the soprano was leaving him.

The NYGO will perform one more opera this summer, free admission, fully staged with soloists, orchestra, and chorus. Maestro Vincent La Selva conducts.

Giuseppe Verdi's Aida on Wed. Aug 13th, 7:30 PM

Location: Central Park NY, Naumburg Bandshell near 72nd St. & 5th Ave. You will need to get there early to get a good view. Bring folding chairs.
