[March 10, 2010]  NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York premieres of Bernstein's "A Quiet Place" and Stephen Schwartz's "Seance on a Wet Afternoon," the world stage premiere of John Zorn's "La Machine de l'etre" and the U.S. stage premiere of Morton Feldman's "Neither" highlight New York City Opera's 2010-11 season.

InsuranceIn its second season since returning to Lincoln Center, City Opera will focus on 20th century American composers as it presents another abbreviated schedule of just five productions.

"A Quiet Place," the sequel to "Trouble in Tahiti," premiered in 1983. The new staging opens Oct. 27, the company said Tuesday, and will be directed by Christopher Alden and stars soprano Sara Jakubia, mezzo-soprano Patricia Risley and tenor Dominic Armstrong.
