We would like to take this opportunity to say to you a most heart-felt Thank You for your continued support of the Opera@theLibrary program.  People like you make this program a resounding success and without you this program would not be possible.  We have had a very successful 2011 and we are looking forward in 2012 to bringing you more great opera performances from around the world that feature the finest opera productions, conductors, orchestras, and singers.  This year we will embark on our much-anticipated Bel Canto cycle, and will bring the very best of Rossini, Mozart, Donizetti, and Bellini.  In December, we will be celebrating the holidays with a spectacular performance of Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballet The Nutcracker.  We eagerly look forward to another fine year of your continued support for great cultural and fine arts programming at the library.

We’ll see you at the Opera!
