Meet Nathan Gunn at Joseph-Beth Booksellers

Wednesday, July 6 at 7:00 p.m.

Cincinnati Opera is pleased to announce the appearance of Nathan Gunn, internationally acclaimed baritone and star of the company’s upcoming production of Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, at a special one-night-only event at Joseph-Beth Booksellers on Wednesday, July 6 at 7:00 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.

Following recent successes at the Metropolitan Opera and the Café Carlyle in New York, Mr. Gunn will explore his varied career in opera, cabaret, and musical theater in conversation with Evans Mirageas, The Harry T. Wilks Artistic Director of Cincinnati Opera. The two will discuss the story of Tchaikovsky’s hauntingly beautiful opera Eugene Onegin and Mr. Gunn’s preparation for his debut in the complex role of the title character.

Following the discussion, Mr. Gunn will sign copies of his recent solo album “Just Before Sunrise,” a collection of romantic and intimate contemporary songs by such artists as Sting, Billy Joel, and Tom Waits.

For more information, please call (513) 768-5593.
