MDLO Closing Announcement I am writing to let you know that I have made the difficult decision to end the operations of Maryland Lyric Opera effective immediately. I will always be enormously proud of all that we have achieved together in bringing more opera to the region. Since I founded MDLO in 2014 we have presented many memorable performances of opera from the three fully staged productions at The Clarice in College Park to the four operas in our thrilling 202223 Season of Verdi at Strathmore in addition to many concerts in venues all across the region. Plus we have introduced thousands of local students to our beloved art form through our programs in local schools and nurtured the careers of emerging artists with the MDLO Institute.
