- Intermezzo
- The New England
Chamber Opera Series
- Intermezzo
was born out of a vision to
produce contemporary chamber operas and bring new and exciting works to
the musical life in New England. Chamber opera merges the musical
and dramatic flavor of grand opera with the immediacy of art song,
performed on a smaller, more intimate scale.
- Our focus is on performing contemporary 20th and 21st
century chamber works, particularly by American composers, and sung in English. Beginning in 2003 Intermezzo
has pursued a path of bringing some of the area's
most exciting singers, composers, and directors together to produce classic, rarely performed works,
and new commissions to the stage. We are very proud of our success over the
past five seasons, with six commissions, a growing following, critical
acclaim, and a wide array of repertoire under our belt.
Due to the financial challenges facing arts
organizations, Intermezzo's Board sincerely regrets the necessary
decision to cancel our September production of THE
PRODIGAL SON.
The Board would like to thank our supporters, patrons
and all who have helped Intermezzo achieve so much over the past seven
years. We have all hopes of returning from our hiatus with a
production of one-act operas in 2010.
- "Intermezzo is an
invaluable champion of new opera."
