Un Bacio d'Opera Tradizionale
A loving soirée of operatic arias and duets
We want to invite you to share with us a loving soiree, an intimate evening of opera, honoring the composers, and showcasing the gifts of three extraordinary artists.
Soprano Sabrina Palladino’s beautiful voice and authentic sense of style has earned her accolades – the prestigious Opera magazine called Sabrina “an incisive, flaming-toned verista, of a type now rare.” Dutch baritone, Hans Pieter Herman has built a devoted New York following, with what the New York Times described as his “highly engaging” manner on stage, while Q New York raved about Hans “seamlessly singing in a warm focused tone.” These gifted artists will be partnered by Maestro Lucy Arner at the piano – hailed by Opera News as an “impeccable accompanist!
The evening will be shaped and narrated by Ira Siff, retired diva of La Gran Scena Opera Company, and current Met Opera Broadcast Commentator. Leontyne Price called Ira “Probably one of the greatest artists in the world!” on a BBC Radio Interview. Join us for music by Verdi, Puccini, Cilea, Mascagni, Massenet, Abroise Thomas – even a little Wagner! It’s an affectionate Bacio d’Opera tradizionale.
Admission: $45 on Eventbrite, $50 at the door (cash only). Doors open at 6:30pm.
