Our celebration of song begins with the exquisite melodies, sparkling orchestration, and rich emotions in Franz Josef Haydn’s Mass in Time of War. Then we’ll take on the role of opera chorus, singing with wit and pathos in excerpts by Verdi, Mascagni, and Gilbert & Sullivan. From the audience favorites “Libiamo” and “Va, Pensiero” (aka “The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves”), to a charming slice of The Pirates of Penzance, and choral highlights from Cavalleria Rusticana, we’ll be accompanied by a large orchestra and four high-powered guest vocalists. You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! It will be a concert to remember!
