Skylark Opera Theatre is back

Interview with Bob Neu of Skylark Opera Theatre

Skylark Opera is back, and it's bigger than ever! Except it's also smaller than ever too — great news for people who love to experience grand opera up close and personal, with an immediacy no normal opera company can provide.

The company started in St. Paul 37 years ago, but it took last year off to get its financial footing and to find a new leader. That leader's name is Bob Neu, and he's no stranger to Skylark, having worked there ten years as director. Now he's moving the company into unusual places and spaces.

Skylark Opera Theatre's 2017 season premieres this February with The Tragedy of Carmen, a reimagined adaptation by Peter Brook of George Bizet's Carmen. Artistic Director Bob Neu stopped at Classical MPR to talk to host John Birge about the rebooted Skylark and about its new production.
