    OPERA AMERICA 2013 GROWING ONSTAGE AND OFF OPTION 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS A SURGE OF INNOVATION 6 RESONATING IN NEW SPACES 14 A COMMUNITY OF VOICES 20 OPERA AMERICA FINANCIAL REPORT 28 ANNUAL FIELD REPORT 30 SUPPORT FOR OPERA AMERICA 55 COVER: Maria Aleida as Queen of the Night in Opera Carolina’s production of The Magic Flute. Photo by Jon Silla. LEFT: Nina Yoshida Nelsen, Ji Hyun Jang and Mihoko Kinoshita in Houston Grand Opera’s production of The Memory Stone by Marty Regan and Kenny Fries. Photo by Felix Sanchez. CONCEPT AND DESIGN FOR ANNUAL REPORT BY THE LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Since its inception OPERA America has existed as a community of like-minded individuals committed to the artistic and financial strength of the field. This past year, our definition of community expanded: our conference, held in Vancouver, affirmed our commitment to all of North America, while our growing partnership with Opera Europa continued to bridge the continents through our shared dedication to an art form that knows no borders. Most profoundly, however, the opening of the National Opera Center in New York has created a new center for our community, a tangible space where individual and company members can gather for auditions, recitals and professional learning programs. The center’s technology capabilities enable us to share these offerings globally, even as its flexible amenities enable us to share our love for opera locally. We are delighted to present our global, national and local achievements of the past year through this Annual Report. To our members we offer gratitude for your support of these achievements.

  • |What to Expect from Così Fan Tutte
    | WHAT TO EXPECT FROM COSÌ FAN TUTTE ON THE SURFACE, MOZART’S COSÌ FAN TUTTE HAS ALL THE MARKINGS OF THE WORK: a typical comic opera: tender lovers, a crafty maidservant, deceptions and COSÌ FAN TUTTE pranks, trials and confessions, and a wedding at the conclusion. But on closer An opera in two acts, sung in Italian study, Così fan tutte is a paradox. It explores depths of emotion previously Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart untapped in opera buffa while moving between high farce and profound Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte beauty. That the work could be both accused of irony, cynicism, and triviality First performed January 26, 1790 and celebrated for communicating deep emotional truth and philosophical at the Burgtheater, Vienna, Austria import is a testament to this opera’s complex identity. Written barely two years before Mozart’s early death, Così fan tutte stands as his final, multi- PRODUCTION layered statement in the Italian opera buffa genre. Amid the opera’s quick-fire David Robertson, Conductor comedy and ravishing melodies, the drama offers an examination of the battle Phelim McDermott, Production between love and reason and a closer understanding of human fallibility. Tom Pye, Set Designer This new Met production, previously presented at the English National Opera, is by the inventive director Phelim McDermott, whose work in opera Laura Hopkins, Costume Designer ranges from Philip Glass’s Satyagraha to The Enchanted Island, an original Paule Constable, Lighting Designer Baroque pastiche opera. In Così fan tutte, McDermott transforms the opera’s original setting but maintains its characters’ isolation: The drama unfolds STARRING in a surprisingly closed environment in which the characters’ only seeming Amanda Majeski occupation is the business of love.
