New Amsterdam Opera will perform Lurezia Borgia in concert in Italian with the New Amsterdam Opera Orchestra and Chorus, under the baton of Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Keith Chambers.
This Bel Canto rarity, with a libretto based on the play Lucrèce Borgia by Victor Hugo, premiered at La Scala in 1833. Its production at The Metropolitan Opera premiered in 1904. Since that time, Manhattan audiences have had very few opportunities to experience this Donizetti masterpiece in performances with orchestra: Opera Orchestra of New York in 2000, New York City Opera in 1976, and American Opera Society in 1965.
