Although the Cincinnati Opera 2021 Summer Festival isn’t over yet, I was lucky enough to attend all three opera productions, as well as the concert, “Opera in the Park.” As you know, the company mounted its 101st season outdoors at Summit Park, Blue Ash.
It was a complex operation. Here’s a story about what it took to set up the stage.
Midway through, I enjoyed catching up with star conductor Xian Zhang, who earned her doctorate at CCM.



And here are links to my reviews of each production. Cincinnati Opera season concludes July 31.
There may be a few tickets left to sit on the lawn. 513-241-2742, cincinnatiopera.org.
