Best of bel canto
Inside the Opera Studio | 2016-2017
About
In Italian, bel canto means beautiful singing. In opera parlance, bel canto refers not only to a certain segment of the repertoire (e.g. the works of Donizetti and Bellini), but also to a school of singing which prioritizes the beauty of the sound above all else. Join Maestro Jeffrey Miller as we kick off our Inside the Opera Studio series with Best of bel canto, featuring Soprano Francesca Mondanaro, Mezzo-Soprano Chrystal E. Williams, Tenor William Davenport, and Bass-Baritone Daniel Mobbs.
No time to catch a pre-show bite? Sandwiches from Casapulla's, beer, wine and other beverages will be available for purchase in the lobby.
