The New York City Opera has announced the postponement of Robert Ward’s “The Crucible.”

The company had originally announced the opera for its 2018-19 season but have postponed the work for its 2019-20 season.

The company also announced it is currently casting its upcoming world premiere “Stonewall.” The NYCO noted that it is looking for a Transgender singer with a treble voice to portray one of the lead roles. The singer will collaborate closely with composer Iain Bell on the role. The organization noted that it is the first time a major company commissions a work with a Transgender singer.

The company has yet to announced its full 2018-19 season lineup and is expected to later in the month. However, it did note that Mascagni’s “Isabeau” will be part of the company’s 2019-20 repertoire.
