Odyssey Opera comes full circle closing its season “Trial By Fire“ with another opera rooted in Schiller’s Die Jungfrau von Orléans, Giovanna d’Arco. Verdi’s seventh opera is an uneven, retrograde effort which fails to mine further the rich vein he had struck in Ernani.

Odyssey Opera gives the US première of the original three-act version of L'assedio di Calais, with every note Donizetti wrote in 1836.
