Many years ago, Civic Music regularly booked recitals by Met superstars (Roberta Peters, Robert Merrill, Brigitte Nielsen) before fees and logistics intervened. Well, we’re now investigating whether we can honor a bit of that history by signing on as a potential co-sponsor to help this community stage (as early as 2018) the sort of semi-informal “opera in the park” summer concert that has proved popular in other Midwest cities. It would be a bonus addition to our five-show series. We’ll keep you posted.
