The season generally runs from December to November. There are about 3 each of Traviata and Elisir d'Amore in the first half of October, and the Italian premier of a new work, Il Medico di Pazzi, in the second half of the month. The latter is given at the Malibran, the theater that was used when the Fence was being rebuilt after the 1996 fire.
