According to the Plain-Dealer, the auditorium has hosted opera before: Artur Rodzinski, who led the Cleveland Orchestra in the 1930s, presented fully staged productions there, as did Lake Erie Opera in the 1960s.
Severance Hall doesn't have much wing space, Rosenberg says, but neither does the Zurich Opera House, so the opera company's productions could be adapted fairly easily.
Lileana Blain-Cruz directs the new production, opening April 23.
The Cuban-born composer is this season's Debs Composer's Chair.
The cast is led by Bryonha Marie and Nathan Gunn, with Tony winner Ted Sperling at the baton.
The season, opening September 21, will include 58 ballets across 21 weeks of performances.
