We’ll step right to the footlights for a fun-filled concert of well-known choruses by Verdi (Nabucco, La Traviata, Otello), Puccini (Madame Butterfly), Mascagani (Cavalleria Rusticana), and Wagner (Lohengrin,Tannhäuser), as well as contemporary gems by Britten (Gloriana), Barber (Antony & Cleopatra), Bernstein (Candide), Copland (The Tender Land), Ferris (Little Moon of Alban), Gershwin (Porgy & Bess) and Ravel (The Enchanted Child).
Guest Artist, Soprano Michelle Areyzaga performs with the Chorale for these concerts. Ms. Areyzaga has sung principal roles in both Baroque and contemporary operas across the country and in Costa Rica. Luciano Laurentiu, pianist. Bravo, bravissimo!
