Business of the Week: Tri-Cities Opera
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Tri-Cities Opera is the Greater Binghamton Chamber Business of the Week.
TCO is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. It was founded by Carmen Savoca and Peyton Hibbit and has been a training ground for up and coming opera singers for decades. It stages several major productions each season including yesterday's performance of Rigoletto at the Forum.
TCO has a large facility on Clinton Street in Binghamton where it rehearses and puts on some of its productions. The building also houses a large costume shop, set shop and storage for roughly 20 sets that it rents out to other companies across the country.
Marketing Director Cate Berger says Tri-Cities Opera is committed to both honoring the classics as well as exploring the new.
'Yes, this is a wonderful, historic art form. But we are telling stories. Some of them are classic and some of them are new. It's more likely than not there will be some interest and so you should come and experience it with us,' Berger said.
The TCO season still has 2 events left.
On Saturday May 10th at 3 p.m. at the Opera Center, it will present the Pocket Opera Project. And then Opera and Beer May 20th and 22nd at Factory by Beer Tree Brew. More information at
