Berkshire Opera Festival presents:
TO PARIS WITH LOVE – Opera in the City of Light

Sunday, April 16 at 2 pm

Saint James Place, 352 Main St., Great Barrington, Massachusetts

Paris has inspired more artists to loftier heights of creativity than perhaps any other city.  From Puccini to Massenet to Strauss, several of the world’s greatest composers set their most memorable operas in the City of Light.  Join BOF Artistic Director and Co-Founder Brian Garman on a tour through this wonderful repertoire with some of opera’s up-and-coming stars.

The afternoon concert will feature soprano Amanda Batista, who Opera News has said “is destined for big theaters”; tenor Ryan Capozzo, who Opera News says is “generating genuine drama” on the stage; baritone Yazid Gray, who Seen and Heard International described as “a vocal chameleon”; and pianist Francesco Barfoed, a rising Danish star who has twice won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions.
