"Coming directly from the success of the company's recent world premiere of The Monkey King, to introducing the new season, General Director Shilvock said that opera is a singular experience for audiences. Watching these works, audience members become not casual observers, but participants, he said."
"In these moments of unbridled love and tragic grief, we see it onstage and put ourselves into it with a shared feeling of empathy. That's the glorious feeling of opera."
