While this performance never happened, it was the genesis of what became the Bronx Opera. Michael Spierman, a recent graduate of New York University's University Heights campus in The Bronx (now Bronx Community College of the City University of New York) took the hub of the group that was to perform the Handel and combined it with his intention to form an opera company that would be based at the Bronx NYU campus. This organization was to be known as the "Heights Opera." It was as the Heights Opera Company that the group first performed on November 24, 1967, at Vladeck Hall of the Amalgamated Housing Corporation. The opera was Mozart's ''Così fan tutte''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bronx Opera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
