Israel?s only opera company, The New Israeli Opera, will be performing Andrea Ch?nier, by Italian conductor Umberto Giordano. It will be directed by one of the leading opera directors, Giancarlo del Monaco, and will feature Israeli tenor Gabi Sadeh in the lead role. The opera is produced in conjunction with the Nice Opera House and will be performed in Italian by Israeli and guest singers.



Since June 1990, the Israel Symphony Orchestra Rishon LeZion has been playing as the New Israeli Opera orchestra, as well as carrying on with its own concert schedule.
