Act I is a journey from Tokyo’s choral Beethoven to Russian folksong and includes a personal message from the great Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. Familiar highlights from Bizet’s Carmen, Verdi’s Traviata and Otello, Puccini’s Turandot and Gianni Schicchi surround jewels by Donizetti, Korngold and Cilea, this last sung by renowned Canadian soprano Sondra Radvanovsky.

That Traviata duet!! Totally insane. Such beautiful voices of these two fine young singers.
So so nice to see an Arab singer. Not only does she have a very charming voice but she is truly stunning!
Great program. Brave Isabel Leonard and Yaritza Véliz.
