Parodi to conduct the opening of New York City Opera season

New York City Opera’s 2018-19 season will open Monday, October 22 at (le) Poisson Rouge with a production of Astor Piazzolla’s “tango operita” María de Buenos Aires. The fourth installment in the company’s popular Ópera en Español series, this co-production with Atlanta Opera features Soprano Catalina Cuervo, the world’s foremost interpreter of the title role. The intimate production, conducted by Jorge Parodi and directed by Atlanta Opera General director Tomer Zvulun, has been praised by Opera News for its “undeniable authenticity.”
