HANG ONTO YOUR SEAT!

It’s Boston Lyric Opera’s 2008–2009 Season, our 32nd year of fully staged and fabulous opera in Boston. We are thrilled to present some rarely performed beauties from the repertoire. This season, unforgettable characters are so mesmerized by love, desperation or hubris that they break through the boundaries of everyday life. That means anything can happen.

Amazing Artists
BLO’s 2008-2009 Season features several important debuts and many happy returns including Academy Award winner and Tony and Emmy Awards nominee Eric Simonson, Stage Director for Rusalka; the director/design team of Renaud Doucet and André Barbe for Hoffmann; conductors Anthony Barrese, Keith Lockhart and Ari Pelto; and singers John Cheek, Kimwana Doner, Bryan Hymel, Georgia Jarman, Gaetan Laperriere, Marquita Lister, Nancy Maultsby, Gerard Powers, and Christopher Schaldenbrand.
