Two of opera’s brightest stars share the stage for an evening of bel canto brilliance. Erin Morley—celebrated for her “richly varied” and “vibrant” soprano (Wall Street Journal)—joins tenor Lawrence Brownlee, whose “honeyed tone and … charismatic warmth” (Boston Classical Review) have earned him international acclaim. Both regulars at the Metropolitan Opera, the pair reunite to perform Rossini, Verdi, Donizetti and more, bringing decades of artistry and technique to this elegant and expressive musical tradition. Experience the rare magic of two operatic greats in one extraordinary concert.
