At the close of Toledo Opera's wonderfully successful 2013-2014 season, executive director Suzanne Rorick announced exciting plans to add a third opera to its upcoming season as well as a contemporary series.
Below are excerpts from her message in the "Faust" program. Click here for season subscriptions, which include priority seating, the bring-a-friend program, and ticket and event discounts.
We begin the season in October with Puccini's "Tosca" in a lush traditional production directed by Michael Capasso, who was last in Toledo to direct "La bohème."
Carlisle Floyd's "Susannah" [presented in February] will be the first in a series of American 20th and 21st-century operas that will be presented over the coming years. With this series, we intend to recapture a powerful dynamic of operatic performance: operas experienced in our audience's own language, set in or near their own time and place, and based on literature or stories that are still widely read or known.
Our third production of the season will be Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" ... [which] also will be Toledo Opera's second co-production with Opera Carolina.
