2007 has been an exiting year for Miami Lyric Opera (MLO) by presenting eleven events among operas and concerts. That is 60% more events than the previous year mostly sold out. On petition of the City of Miami Beach Cultural Affair, we have produced and performed for the first time an opera at open air in one of Miami Beach’s Parks with a great success of public who enjoyed a suggestive Puccini’s La Boheme under the stars in what can be called a magic evening.

We need you and we are working for you for better productions to offer.

The 2008 Season looks very interesting, we will present new titles such as Lucia, Butterfly and I Puritani and repeat renewed past productions such as La Traviata among other as you will appreciate in our year calendar. New singers will join the existing cast members, consolidated chorus and orchestra will support our productions together with improvement in the scenery design.

For better convenience of our public, we will repeat the same title more than once and eventually increase the number of performances soon as we are given the new venue in the South part of Miami in addition to The Colony Theater of Miami Beach. Established and emerging artists are being recruiting to offer the best available voices in South Florida and from elsewhere.

This young Opera Company, founded and directed by the prestigious Italian tenor Raffaele Cardone, began its activity on October 30, 2004; since then, it has successfully presented more than 20 operas and Concerts in the area of Miami Dade. MLO is committed to offering an accessible operatic alternative in Miami and to creating opportunities for new talent to perform and acquire experience alongside known artists.
