Its high quality presentations of small-scale rarities from the Baroque era to the present have earned Gotham an international reputation and unanimous critical praise. Founded by conductor and Artistic Director Neal Goren, Gotham debuted in 2001 (as Henry Street Chamber Opera) with the American premiere of Mozart’s Il sogno di Scipione. In subsequent seasons, Gotham has produced many more local and world premieres, including such works as Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, Milhaud’s Les Malheurs d’Orphee, Bohuslav Martinu’s Les Larmes du Couteau and Hlas Lesa, Sutermeister’s Die schwarze Spinne, Handel’s Arianna in Creta, Britten’s Albert Herring, and Rossini’s Il Signor Bruschino. The company renamed itself Gotham Chamber opera and became an independent 501(c)3 organization in 2003.

After streaming the Giulio Gari Salon Series, I had to come here and urge opera lovers to join me in watching the next event! The Giulio Gari Foundation’s Salon Series is created by the opera community for the opera community! They get everything right. This series is the best destination on Facebook to listen to amazing opera singers divulge their love for the craft of performing, along with their most memorable experiences! The well decorated opera singer Steven LaBrie is the next Giulio Gari Salon Series’s guest and it is easily accessible through Giulio Gari Foundation’s page. LaBrie is my favorite baritone and has impressively performed in many productions, my favorite being Bizet’s Carmen. The Giulio Gari Salon Series with LaBrie is streaming on March 31st, at 7PM EST!
