At a time when many opera companies around the country are folding, the Amore Opera, now in its sixth season, experienced a setback this year with the sudden loss of its theater due to a change in management and as a result, had to postpone their planned fall and winter performances of Donizetti's La Zingara, L'Elisir d'Amore, and Bizet's Carmen. With its spring season approaching, Amore looks forward to continuing its mission to entertain, educate and nurture music appreciation in youth, seniors and community members through affordable live performances of classical and overlooked operas, and provide a venue for a diversity of singers and musicians to perform in fully staged and orchestrated productions.
