New York Opera Fest keeps rolling this week, this time with a completely new work. Starting on June 2, 2017, at 7:30 p.m. EDT, Opera Upper West is debuting Tom Cipullo’s “Glory Denied,” an opera about Colonel Floyd James Thompson, America’s longest surviving prisoner of war.

The West Harlem Pier, Harlem, New York 1850-1965

For thousands of years while the Muscoota and the Wecksquaesgeek Indians lived in this entire section of upper Manhattan Island, the natural topography of this site in West Harlem formed a valley and small sheltered cove off the Hudson River, also known as the North River.
