L'Opéra Français de New York
Since its founding in 1988, l'Opéra Français de New York (OFNY) remains the only professional opera company in New York City dedicated exclusively to the French operatic repertory, a repertory which has been unjustly undervalued during the 20th century. This opera company emphasizes unusual masterworks of French Opéra-Comique and offers to New Yorkers unique opportunities to hear a broad sampling of lesser-known works from the French repertory. The OFNY engages the most promising young North American singers and provides training in the specifics of the French vocal style. Conducting the New York Symphonic Arts Orchestra, artistic director of the OFNY, Yves Abel, performs one of the most popular French opéras-comiques, "Zampa" by Ferdinand Herold (with Tracey Welborn et Isabel Bayrakdarian).
