Where voice soars, dance follows. The artistry of the Joffrey Ballet School quartet reminds us that opera is not just heard — it’s felt. 💫 #NewYorkCityOpera #JoffreyBalletSchool (fb)

✨ NYC Opera History ✨ In 2016, New York City Opera revived Hopper’s Wife by Stewart Wallace and Michael Korie, a daring opera that reimagines the life of Edward Hopper’s wife through a surreal, noir-inflected lens. The production attracted broad media attention — including a review in the Financial Times that explored its ambition and challenging edges.  ✨ The story follows the dreamlike, volatile marriage between Hopper and a figure who becomes gossip columnist Hedda Hopper — weaving Hollywood myth, and artistic ambition into a bold allegory of fame and identity. It’s an opera of illusion, fame, and fractured identity — an imaginative work that pushed boundaries and sparked conversation. 📸 Scenes from NYCO’s 2016 performance. (fb)
