También allí se estrenó la La fanciulla del West (1910), encargada por el propio teatro, que haría su última función en 1961, justamente con Turandot, de la que conservamos una grabación. El actual edificio sólo sería inaugurado en 1966 (cuando también se demo- lió el antiguo teatro) en el monumental Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, encargándose para la ocasión una ópera al americano Samuel Barber, Antony and Cleopatra, cuya producción realizó Franco Zeffirelli, aunque en aquella oca- sión la colaboración fue mal recibida por la crítica.

We hope that the change to the afternoon will be attractive to our audience and boost attendance. The 14th Brian Law Opera Competition (BLOC) will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, 19th October 2019 at the Southminster United Church, 15 Aylmer Avenue, Ottawa. At the last Competition, Southminster partnered with us by making the Competi- tion part of their Saturday concert series. Although the church has not as yet made plans for a concert series next season, we would welcome their partnership. The BLOC is our major activity, so the prizes are the best possible use of our funds. Mark your calendars and we’ll look forward to seeing you on October 19th.
