It's about making opera happen in Brooklyn. For a decade, they have operated out of a theater that seats 40, doing everything from Idemeneo to Jenufa to Darius Milhaud's Medee. The change of venue from small black-box theater to Brooklyn waterfront is a huge leap. They are hard to pin down conceptually. They do somethings very traditionally (like their Cavalleria) and other things in a very avant garde way (like Hilhaud's Medee). But regardless of the production style, they use excellent singers. Worth hearing. They did Il Tabarro last year in the same location. It’s about making opera happen in Brooklyn.
