Austin Lyric Opera announces 2012-2013 season
Leoncavallo’s ‘Pagliacci,’ Mozart’s ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ and Gounod’s ‘Faust’ will constitute Austin Lyric Opera’s 2012-2013 season, the organization announced.
Richard Buckley, ALO artistic director and principal conductor, will lead all three productions.
And also starting next season, ALO performances will be scheduled on Thursday nights (7:30 p.m.), Saturday nights (7:30 p.m.) followed by a 3 p.m. Sunday matinee. This season ALO reduced the number of performances from four to three in order to cut costs.
‘Pagliacci’ is designed by Roberto Laganà ; the production of ‘Figaro’ was originated by the Opera Company of Philadelphia and ‘Faust’ is a coproduction of Arizona Opera, Lyric Opera Baltimore and Opera Lyra Ottawa.
ALO recently sold its building on Barton Springs Road in an effort to pay off nearly $2 million in debt.
ALO presents ‘Lucia di Lammermoor’ next with three performances Jan. 28, Feb. 3 and 5 at the Long Center.
