Connecticut Lyric Opera is proud to announce Celebrating The Voice! – our renewed focus on the profound artistry of the human voice, embracing opera’s timeless capacity to inspire, instill, and include. With a deep appreciation for the voice as the soul of opera, CLO is committed to creating performances that resonate with audiences from all walks of life. This renewed emphasis amplifies our dedication to showcasing the universal themes and emotional power that only opera can deliver.
At the heart of this focus is our belief in the voice as a bridge between the past and present, tradition and innovation, and diverse communities. From the stirring strains of Verdi to the groundbreaking compositions of contemporary masters like Anthony Davis, CLO seeks to honor opera’s rich legacy while championing its relevance in today’s world. By celebrating the voice, we reaffirm our commitment to creating spaces where artistry and humanity converge.
This vision extends beyond the stage, as CLO continues to collaborate with partners, educators, and communities to bring opera’s transformative power to broader audiences. Through initiatives like our performances of “Amistad,” we are ensuring that the voice not only entertains but also enlightens, connecting us to history, justice, and the triumph of the human spirit.
