Celebrate Opera HOME OF THE Bravo CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: David Daniels in Oscar, Ailyn Pérez and Stephen Costello, The Kimmel Center, and Eric Owens # Opera News recently hailed Opera Philadelphia's arrival as a national center of operatic excellence and vitality, stating, "One would think it's impossible to ﬁnd such an exciting opera company in such close proximity to New York. But this one seems to be defying the force of gravity." The company's 40th anniversary season is a celebratory journey, with six exceptional new productions starring some of the world's ﬁnest opera singers. It begins with a Gala Celebration starring soprano Ailyn Pérez and tenor Stephen Costello on September 12, then continues with a season-opening production of Rossini's The Barber of Seville Academy House (September 26-October 5), and a free Op1420 Locust St., Ste. 210 Philadelphia, PA era on the Mall broadcast on September 27. 215.732.8400 The stars continue to shine with the operaphila.org East Coast premiere of Theodore Morrison's 116 AUGUST 2014 usairwaysmag.com Oscar (February 6-15) starring David Daniels; Richard Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos (March 4-8) with Curtis Opera Theatre; and Verdi's Don Carlo (April 24-May 3) with Philly's own Eric Owens in his role debut as King Philip, alongside Dimitri Pittas, Leah Crocetto, and Michelle DeYoung. Opera Philadelphia continues to be one of the leading instigators of new work in the country, with two world premieres slated for this season. Charlie Parker's YARDBIRD (June 5-14) stars tenor Lawrence Brownlee as the legendary saxophonist - a role composer Daniel Schnyder crafted around the tenor's improvisational style.
