The article "New York Grand Opera Cancels Central Park Performances" was published by Allan Kozinn on the website of The New York Times newspaper on May 13, 2013. This artical reports about course of events that are connected with a cancellation of the New York Grand Opera.

It was revealed that he conductor Vincent La Selva has canceled this year’s season which was to have opened with Verdi’s “Aida” on Wednesday. The reason he gave was the increasing unpredictability of the weather. Speaking of this situation Vincent noted that the weather spoiled his performances in recent years. He had to cancel a number of performances in recent summers due to heavy rainstorms. For this reason he have decided to plan indoor performances and will not present a season in Central Park this summer.

Speaking of this situation it's neccessary to note that Mr. La Selva’s decision to stop the outdoor series will leave a small but significant gap in New York’s operatic life. The company’s projects have included a complete chronological traversal of Verdi’s 28 operas, all presented fully staged and without cuts, as well as most of the Puccini operas. And although recent seasons have included only two productions, in the company’s early years it offered five, as well as performances in all of New York’s boroughs and on Long Island and in New Jersey. Mr. La Selva estimated that between three million and four million listeners have attended the company’s performances.
