The Brooklyn Repertory Opera is a Park Slope, Brooklyn-based opera company founded in 2006 by artistic director Kathleen Keske and executive director Brett Wynkoop. The company formed to produce the world premier of the two act version of a new opera, A.F.R.A.I.D. based upon the life of Fanny Fern by composer/librettist Susan Stoderl, after having a successful run of the one act version of A.F.R.A.I.D. in the 2005 New York International Fringe Festival. In February of 2010, BRO will world premiere another Stoderl opera, The Veil of Forgetfulness. BRO performs in a former bathhouse and landmark building, known as the Brooklyn Lyceum. Beginning in June 2007, the company began performing public domain works from the standard repertoire: Così fan tutte, Fidelio, Cavalleria rusticana, Hänsel und Gretel, Le nozze di Figaro, Orfeo ed Euridice, Un ballo in maschera, and Ariadne auf Naxos, all in English translations for the purpose of making opera accessible to a wider audience. Conductors who have worked with Brooklyn Repertory Opera are Hardin Butcher, Stephen Francis Vasta, Conrad Chu, Yoon Jae Lee, Roger Malouf, Christopher Fecteau, Harry Saltzman, Francesco Lecce-Chong, and Jason [ - ]
