MusiciansConnecticut, United States11-50 Employees

Now in our eighth season, Connecticut Lyric Opera (CLO) is Southeastern CT's only full-season professional opera company. The mission of Connecticut Lyric Opera is threefold:

Inspire: To contribute to the cultural life of SE Connecticut and beyond with high quality operas, concerts and recitals from the traditional and contemporary repertoires.

Involve: To encourage the development of Connecticut-based singers and musicians through their participation in professional opera productions and other public performances.

Instill: To present opera to people of all ages in such a way as to foster a love and appreciation of the art form in general and vocal and classical music in general.

To these ends, CLO produces two fully staged opera productions per season with orchestra and chorus, an adapted opera production by Young Artists for student audiences for our OPERAtunities program, as well as a number of other concerts and recitals throughout the year featuring CLO soloists and orchestra members.

Initially these productions and programs were staged in both New London and New Britain; however, this season will be our third with performances in Middletown and second with perfomances in Waterbury, CT as well.
