Get ready for summer! Central City Opera presents a concert of opera and music theater’s “greatest hits” and excerpts from their 2022 Summer Festival, featuring the musical The Light in the Piazza and operetta Die Fledermaus. Performers include CCO Touring Artists soprano Christie Conover, soprano Jenée Luquette James, mezzo soprano Lindsey Falduto, tenor Michael Hoffman, baritone Steve Taylor, and pianist Jeremy Reger. The CCO Touring Artist roster includes the region’s most talented opera and music theatre performers.
Opening for Central City Opera is Grande Orquesta Navarre, a local band that describes themselves as the “heartbeat of an old cabaret orchestra with the modern feel of cutting-edge new music, classical remixes and nuevo tango. Our unique style is both a throwback and a revelation.” Featuring CCO Touring Artist Sara Parkinson on piano, Susan Cahill on double bass, Tom Hagerman on accordion and violin, and Evan Orman on bandoneon and cello.
