2008-2009 Overview
City Opera Citywide: 38 Events, 14 Venues, 5 Boroughs
In fall 2008, New York City Opera begins an exciting year of transition as the company’s home at Lincoln Center,
the New York State Theater, undergoes major renovations. During the renovations, City Opera will take
to the road, bringing live music and provocative cultural conversation to more than fourteen different venues in
all five boroughs of New York City. Through concerts, showcases, multi-media presentations, talks, panels, and
film screenings, City Opera will celebrate opera’s surprisingly central role in contemporary culture, and will
provide a preview of future seasons. Click on any of the above icons to learn more about the diverse programs City
