Opera Rap: 2012 Season Preview

Join Evans Mirageas, The Harry T. Wilks Artistic Director of Cincinnati Opera, and young artists from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music for a sneak preview of Cincinnati Opera’s 2012 Summer Festival, running June 14 through July 29. The season will open with a double bill of Italian one-act operas, pairing the tragic verismo of Ruggero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci with the comedic charm of Giacomo Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi. Next, Cincinnati Opera will proudly present its first-ever production of The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess. The season will close with a sumptuous production of Giuseppe Verdi’s heartrending romance La Traviata.
