Opera Saratoga's America Sings Presents Cesar Parreno, Tenor

Sunday, Apr 7, 2024 from 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Caffe Lena

Opera Saratoga’s America Sings recital series continues with a unique spin - passing the mic to young artists from The Juilliard School. With a collaborative history dating back to 1985 when second General Director David Lloyd ran the Juilliard American Opera Company, Opera Saratoga and Juilliard connect again for two concerts full of inspiration and musical integrity. Under the leadership of General and Artistic Director (and Juilliard faculty member) Mary Birnbaum, two visionary singers from the school will carefully curate recitals that reflect their unique musical inspirations, passions and creativity.

 

In a season that pays homage to Saratoga Springs’ history as a pleasure-seeker’s paradise, Birnbaum challenges these young artists to show us their personal pleasures: the music that drives their passions. These musicians bring their talents to the stage of Saratoga’s thriving Caffè Lena with the support of Opera Saratoga’s outstanding audiences.
