Opera’s Drama and Brilliance in Concert

Opera’s greatest drama and beauty shine in a night of Verdi, Mascagni, Beethoven, and Wagner—featuring soprano Jazmine Saunders in dazzling arias.

Thrill to the drama, beauty, and brilliance of opera’s greatest moments—no stage required. Verdi’s blazing overtures and soaring arias chart love, vengeance, and freedom at their most intense, from the electrifying La forza del destino and the dazzling sparkle of Caro nome to Violetta’s high-flying triumph in Sempre libera. Mascagni’s glowing Intermezzo offers tender calm, while Beethoven’s heroic Leonore Overture No. 3 and Wagner’s radiant Meistersinger Prelude bring symphonic grandeur to the concert hall. Rising star Jazmine Saunders, Lindemann Young Artist at the Metropolitan Opera, shines in Verdi’s unforgettable arias—an evening of passion, virtuosity, and orchestral brilliance.
