Long Island Opera (LIO), the Island's oldest opera company, has brought a notable blend of opera performance and opera education to Nassau and Suffolk communities for more than fifty years. From its beginnings in an adult education course in 1958, LIO has engaged, entertained, and educated audiences all across Long Island, in concert halls, outdoor performance spaces, at libraries, schools and community centers. The 2012-13 season marks a renaissance for LIO. Led by music director Fabio Bezuti and executive director Joy Berta, LIO will present a season of three fully staged operas, Carmen, Rigoletto, and La Bohème, and a number of concert performances.
