Good morning, opera friends! Our young artists enjoyed an amazing panel discussion yesterday with Eric Owens and four of his colleagues. (A longer update to come when there’s time.) Unfortunately, Eric was feeling ill last night, and he’s doing a bit worse this morning and will not be able to sing on today’s Aria Jukebox concert. Just a little advance notice for those of you who are coming today.
It’s still going to be a terrific afternoon of opera, and I know you’ll enjoy yourself. Repertoire menu below! (And no, we’re not performing 56 arias… Each singer will perform whichever of his/her four options is chosen by the audience:))
