ABOUT THE
METRO LYRIC OPERA
The
Metro Lyric Opera and the Monmouth Opera Guild were founded 50 years ago by Era
Tognoli. Under Mme. Tognoli’s guidance, the Metro Lyric Opera has become one
of the leading Regional Opera Companies in the United States. The Metro Lyric
Opera engages artists from the Metropolitan and the New York City Opera
companies as well as La Scala, and the Bolshoi Opera. Opportunities are also
given to young deserving talents who have achieved an advanced level of
artistry. In fact, many of the young artists who have been engaged by the M.L.O.,
have gone on to sing with the Metropolitan and New York City Opera companies as
well as with Broadway Musical Shows.
The
success of the MLO can be attributed to its philosophy of presenting Opera in
the traditional manner, within a standard of excellence at popular prices,
making it accessible to the general public
