Amore Opera

Harlem & Upper Manhattan


This company, formed by several members of the now-defunct Amato Opera presents well-known works such as The Magic Flute, La Bohème, The Mikado and Hansel and Gretel at the Riverside theater. The appeal? Much cheaper tickets and a more intimate setting than most opera venues.
