With the new season,embattled NYCO hope for a comeback

纽约市立歌剧院（New York City Opera）有点像是大都会歌剧院的“二房”，名气不比人响、财力不比人厚、明星不比人多，连地理位置位于林肯中心广场上的左手边，都显示只能是侧室。

After a year of hiatus and a very public breakout with it ex-designated-artistic director Gerard Mortier,New York City Opera has finally announced the appointment of a new artistic director, George Steel and a shortened 2009-10 season.Will NYCO steer itself right and reclaim its important function in the New York opera scene? Opera lovers certainly hope so.A New York with only the Metropolitan Opera is just not enough for serious opera lovers!
