The Opera Orchestra of New York, a small but beloved institution for fans of off-beat repertory and big voices, is staging something of a comeback. The company said Thursday it would end its financially induced hiatus and mount two concert productions next season: Meyerbeer’s “L’Africaine,”and a double bill of Massenet’s “La Navarraise” and Mascagni’s “Cavalleria Rusticana.”
