An Evening of Song

On Saturday, March 14, I sang with The Capitol City Opera Company in their Evening of Song. I sang first Laetitia's aria Steal Me, Sweet Thief from The Old Maid and the Thief by Gian Carlo Menotti and second Susana's aria Deh vieni, non tardar from Don Giovanni by Mozart. John LaForge joined me as Giovanni in the duet La ci darem la mano as I sang Zerlina. We are trying to raise enough money to keep the company afloat and perform two operas next year. I am scheduled to sing Monica in The Medium in the Fall and then hopefully, La Traviata will go on in the Spring. It had to be cancelled due to lack of funding this year. We did this evening of song instead.
