"NCO's 2013-14 season, with Così fan tutte, La bohème, Rusalka and the "Opera in the Pines" concert, was a huge success. For 2014-15, we are presenting a season that builds on that success and furthers our company's mission," said NCO General Director Eric Mitchko.

NCO's Artistic Director & Principal Conductor Timothy Myers, who had major triumphs last season at NCO and other American opera companies, will introduce the 2014-15 season. "The new season offers two full-staged Italian operas, a concert performance featuring music from a monumental German opera, and a new one-act piece in English based on the life of the world's most recognizable person," noted Myers. The kickoff features tenorJason Karn and soprano Lora Fabio, accompanied by pianist Kate Lewis, who will sing several highlights from the season.

The 2014-15 season includes performances at venues throughout the Triangle, including Raleigh Memorial Auditorium, A.J. Fletcher Opera Theater, and Meymandi Concert Hall. The season features both popular returning artists and includes several notable company debuts.
