The Minnesota Opera's 2010-2011 season, announced today, includes a world premier adaptation of a novel and film about the rise of fascism in Italy in the 1930's.


"The Garden of the Finzi-Continis" is the first commission by Minnesota Opera's New Works Initiative aimed at creating and presenting new American opera. Based on the novel by Giorgio Bassani, the production is being created by the same team behind the critically acclaimed adaptation of "The Grapes of Wrath" in 2007.

The season opens in September with Gluck's Orpheus and Eurydice, followed by Rossini's "Cinderella" in October. 

In January 2011 the Minnesota Opera presents the second of Donizetti's Tudor operas "Mary Stuart," followed by Verdi's La Traviata in March. 

"The Garden of the Finzi-Continis" wraps up the season in  April.
