New York Grand Opera Orchestra Bio
Vincent La Selva, conductor, has been a New York institution for almost fifty years. Founder of the New York Grand Opera Company in 1973, he is unique in the world for presenting fully-staged grand opera productions that are free to the public. Since 1974, Maestro La Selva has chosen New York’s Central Park and outlying boroughs for his grand opera productions, which, over the years, have been attended by a total of more than three million people. Maestro La Selva has earned special renown for leading performances that cut to the musical essence of these scores with a directness, lyricism, and passion that has often evoked the conducting style of the late Arturo Toscanini. The New York opera company, led by Mr. La Selva, is synonymous with grand opera, idiomatically performed — and accessible to all.

How do I hire NY Grand Opera Orchestra for a private event, corporate event, nonprofit gala or convention?
To hire NY Grand Opera Orchestra for a private or corporate performance, the event buyer must first determine whether the artist is available and interested in the proposed engagement and then submit an offer through the appropriate authorized representative. The offer typically includes the event date and location, type of event, proposed performance format and fee.
Celebrity Direct represents event buyers throughout this process, including availability inquiries, offer strategy, negotiation, contracting, rider review and production coordination.
How much does it cost to hire NY Grand Opera Orchestra for a private or corporate event?
There is no single published fee to hire NY Grand Opera Orchestra for a private or corporate event. The performance fee is negotiated for the specific engagement and can vary based on the date, location, event type, performance format, travel requirements, current touring activity and other circumstances surrounding the event.
Celebrity Direct can obtain current availability and pricing from the appropriate artist representative for a specific event.
What total budget should I expect when hiring NY Grand Opera Orchestra?
The total cost of presenting NY Grand Opera Orchestra can be higher than the negotiated artist performance fee. Depending on the engagement, additional expenses can include airfare or private aviation, hotels, local transportation, sound, lighting, staging, backline, labor, hospitality and other requirements contained in the artist’s rider.
For this reason, event buyers should evaluate the all-in cost of the performance, not simply the artist fee, before making an offer.
How can I find out if NY Grand Opera Orchestra is available for my event date?
NY Grand Opera Orchestra’s availability for a private or corporate event must be confirmed through the appropriate authorized representative. Availability can depend on touring and recording commitments, personal scheduling, event location, travel requirements and whether the artist is interested in the particular engagement.
Celebrity Direct can submit the event details, check availability and determine whether an offer is appropriate.
How do I contact NY Grand Opera Orchestra’s booking agent about a private performance?
A corporate, nonprofit or private-event buyer generally does not need to locate NY Grand Opera Orchestra’s booking agent personally. An experienced talent buyer can identify the appropriate authorized representative, present the event professionally and manage the inquiry and offer process on the buyer’s behalf.
Celebrity Direct handles this process for its clients and represents the event buyer rather than the artist.
How do I contact NY Grand Opera Orchestra’s manager about hiring them for an event?
Artist management is not necessarily the appropriate first contact for negotiating a private performance. Celebrity engagements are generally handled through the artist’s authorized booking representation, management or another designated representative depending on the circumstances.
Celebrity Direct determines the appropriate contact for the proposed engagement and handles the communication and negotiation for the event buyer.
Will NY Grand Opera Orchestra perform at a corporate event, convention, nonprofit gala or private party?
Whether NY Grand Opera Orchestra will consider a particular private or corporate performance depends on their availability, the nature and location of the event, the proposed performance, the financial offer and artist approval. Celebrity artists are not simply available for every event at a published price.
A legitimate inquiry should therefore include enough information about the event for the artist’s representatives to evaluate the opportunity.
What information do I need before asking about hiring NY Grand Opera Orchestra?
Before requesting availability or pricing for NY Grand Opera Orchestra, an event buyer should ideally know the event date, city and venue, type of event, expected attendance, desired performance format and approximate entertainment budget.
Providing these details allows the artist’s representatives to evaluate the engagement and allows an experienced talent buyer to recommend the most effective offer strategy.
Does the quoted artist fee include travel and production?
Usually, the artist’s performance fee should not be assumed to represent the complete cost of the engagement. Travel, hotels, ground transportation, production, equipment, labor and hospitality requirements may be additional obligations of the buyer depending on the negotiated contract and rider.
The contract and rider should be reviewed before the event buyer determines the final entertainment budget.
Can Celebrity Direct handle the complete NY Grand Opera Orchestra booking and production process?
Celebrity Direct can represent the event buyer throughout a celebrity entertainment engagement, including determining availability, developing the offer, negotiating with the artist’s authorized representative, reviewing contracts and riders, coordinating production requirements and assisting with the performance through event day.
Unlike an artist’s agent or manager, Celebrity Direct works on the buyer’s side of the transaction, helping the event planner understand the financial, contractual and production obligations involved in presenting celebrity talent.
