New Rochelle Opera will present OPERATIC LOVE FEST, on Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 3:00 pm. The concert will be held in the wedding chapel at The Fountainhead in New Rochelle, NY. Tickets are $50 and includes a reception of wine and hors d’oeuvres.
“We’ve been presenting the Love Fest concert for the past 3 years,” said NRO Artistic Director Camille Coppola. “It continues to be extremely popular with our patrons, so we continue to give them what they want!” The first two Love Fest concerts were held at Top of the Roc, but the company began presenting them at The Fountainhead in 2013.
The concert was originally scheduled over Valentine’s Day weekend (thus the theme), but was rescheduled due to inclement weather.
The fundraiser concert will feature arias, duets and ensemble pieces that embrace the theme of love performed by the some of the Company’s most popular soloists: soprano Kelli Butler, mezzo-soprano Sara Petrocelli, tenor Joshua Benevento and baritone Chad Armstrong. The singers will be accompanied by Renee Guerrero, and NRO Artistic Director Camille Coppola will narrate the program.
The Fountainhead is located at 55 Quaker Ridge Road, New Rochelle, NY. Tickets are limited and can be purchased online at www.nropera.org, or by sending a check to New Rochelle Opera, P.O. Box 55, New Rochelle, NY 10804. All tickets will be held at the door. For more information, please call (914) 576-1617 or (914) 576-0365.
