Breaking News:

Trinity Lyric Opera's scheduled performances of Robert Ward's "The Crucible" postponed to July, 2009

It is with great regret that Trinity Lyric Opera announces the postponement of its 2008 summer season. The company had originally planned four performances of Robert Ward's Pulitzer Prize-winning opera "The Crucible" in July at the Castro Valley Center for the Arts. Unfortunately, financial considerations have made it impossible for Trinity Lyric Opera to present this production at the professional level our audiences have come to expect.

TLO's presentation of "The Crucible" has therefore been rescheduled for July 17, 19, 24 and 26, 2009, with matinee performances on the 19th and the 26th.

Despite this setback, we urge you not to lose faith in Trinity Lyric Opera. We are making an aggressive push to acquire additional funding, and are going ahead with plans for four performances during the upcoming 2008 Christmas season, two in Castro Valley and two in San Francisco. These performances will include Gian-Carlo Menotti's ever-popular "Amahl and the Night Visitors" and the California premiere of "The Gift of the Magi," a one-act opera based on an O. Henry story, with music by San Francisco composer David Conte.

In connection with TLO's development and growth, the Company's Board of Directors is seeking the implementation of a Guild to assist with fund-raising and publicity matters, and welcomes those seeking to serve the Company through this means. Please contact us using through the website for additional information on how you can become an integral part of the Company's future.

Mark your calendars now for Trinity Lyric Opera's holiday performances of "Amahl and the Night Visitors" and "The Gift of the Magi" December 20 - 21 2008 at the Castro Valley Center for the Arts, and December 22 - 23 in San Francisco, marking our first series of performances outside our home area. We will be posting casting and ticket information on our website shortly.

Please help keep Trinity Lyric Opera one of the Bay Area's most exciting companies by attending our performances, and by volunteering your help in one of many capacities as TLO continues to provide top-notch professional opera performances to our entire area!
