History

Now in our eighth season, Connecticut Lyric Opera is the only full-season opera company in Southeastern CT. From the standards such as La Boheme, Carmen and Le Nozze di Figaro, to lesser performed but no less wonderful operas like Eugene Onegin, Faust and Susannah, CLO’s Artistic and General Director, Adrian Sylveen Mackiewicz creates “moments of opera magic” with every new production.
