Appassionata

An Evening of Bel Canto and Verismo Opera - Forbidden love, longing, midnight trysts, joy and heartbreak…

all this and more is the dramatic focus in a program of enchanting and impassioned solos and duets by Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, and Puccini.  In this inaugural production of performances à la carte, sopranos Carla Jamie Perez and Lucy Zepeda give voice to some of opera’s most amorous — and often tragic – heroines, with Lisa Edwards accompanying.
