The opera festival in Cooperstown, New York, directed by Francesca Zambello, will offer — in “the most ventilated area we could find” — 90-minute abridgements of Il trovatore, The Magic Flute, and La Périchole as well as a Wagner concert program featuring bass Eric Owens, an evening of musical theater hits, and world premieres of a new dance work, a one-act opera about US military spouses, and a play (starring Denyce Graves) about America’s first all-Black opera company. – The New York Times
