About This Program
Joined by current and former students of Juilliard's Marcus Institute for Vocal Arts Opera Program, The COT will feature a selection of well and lesser known arias, ensemble pieces, and overtures from four of Italy’s great opera composers. Whether taking in Rossini’s flirtatious “Una voce poco fa” or Bellini’s dramatic “Ah per sempre…” from I Puritani, you are sure to laugh, cry, and experience everything in between.
All songs will be sung in Italian, but supertitles will appear in real time to make sure you keep up with the action.
