Note on language of opera titles
Because the company presents opera performed in English,
the English titles are generally given first in this list.
However, some operas are better known even to English speaking audiences
by their titles in some other language, and the entry in this list
does not necessarily indicate how any particular production
was chiefly advertized on posters or in the programme published at the time.
*The company has put on many other concerts, recitals, and other events over the years
which are not included in this list.
