Urbi et Orbelian

One day after the announcement that General Director Michael Capasso is retiring, New York City Opera announces the “installation” of Music Director and Principal Conductor Constantine Orbelian as Executive Director.

According to a press release, the company plans a “monumental Carnegie Hall concert, Music of Survival, featuring works by Mieczys?aw Weinberg and Erich Korngold” as well as a 75th anniversary revival of William Grant Still‘s Troubled Island and a long-promised “barefoot in the park” presentation of Mascagni‘s Isabeau as part of next summer’s Bryant Park outdoor concert series.

More information about all that, one can assume, is forthcoming?
