Description:
The Floyd Center for the Arts presents Opera Roanoke performing An Evening of Arias, Scenes and Duets from Puccini and his World on Saturday, April 28, 2018.

We invite you to join us for an evening of lush melodies and delightful music sure to entice you! Scott Williamson, Artistic Director of Opera Roanoke, and members of Opera Roanoke’s Apprentice Program will present an evening of arias, scenes and duets from Puccini and his World. Included are favorites from Tosca, Turandot and La Boheme. This is Opera Roanoke's 2017-18 “Puccini is Passion” season preview.

Dr. Williamson is the General and Artistic Director of Opera Roanoke, where he produced the company’s first-ever Wagner opera (Die Fliegende Hollander) and led the western Virginia professional premiere of Handel’s Giulio Cesare. Recently he conducted the world premiere of The Three Feathers, a children’s opera by composer Lori Laitman and poet Dana Gioia. An internationally recognized tenor, the Times of London called his debut at Shakespeare’s Globe, “brilliant”. His work has been praised in The New York Times, Sun, Opera News and The Washington Post.

A “Meet the Artists” reception will follow the performance.

Advance tickets are $25.00 per person and can be purchased at The Floyd Center for the Arts and online. Tickets purchased at the door are $30.00. Student tickets are $15.00
