Glimmerglass Opera

New York-based Opera Company

Glimmerglass Opera, now known as The Glimmerglass Festival, is not an artist or band but an American summer opera festival held in Cooperstown, New York at the Alice Busch Opera Theater. The festival presents a series of operas every summer, featuring both well-known and less familiar works. Since its inception in 1975, Glimmerglass has become renowned for innovative and often adventurous productions. The company has a reputation for fostering young artists and for its commitment to American opera, with a focus on new productions and works that are less frequently performed. While Glimmerglass Opera has indeed presented operas such as "The Mines of Sulphur" and "The Greater Good," these are not albums but staged opera productions that were part of their seasonal offerings. The festival's emphasis is on live performance rather than recorded albums.
