About The New Opera

The New Opera, based in Williamstown, MA, was founded in the spring of 2003 by Keith Kibler and Richard Giarusso. The company has presented highly successful concert performances of Purcell’s Dido and Æneas, excerpts from Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cosi fan tutte, and highlights from Puccini’s La Bohème and Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier.

The vocal company of The New Opera consists mainly of young artists who are preparing for careers as professional singers. Performances also normally feature the participation of one or two veteran artists. In this way, our projects provide younger artists with the opportunity to perform major roles with orchestra while also offering them the chance to learn from more seasoned performers.
