Revel in the sounds of Italy with a virtual recital awash with beautiful lesser-known musical gems by beloved Italian opera composers, curated and hosted by Lyric’s Music Director Designate Enrique Mazzola and presented by The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center. With Maestro Mazzola at the piano, members of the Ryan Opera Center 2020/21 Ensemble will perform songs by Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, Puccini, and Mascagni, selected with love by Mazzola.
Who doesn't need a little sun and love in their life? That's what Lyric's music director designate, Enrique Mazzola, had in mind when he collaborated with members of The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center in planning the repertoire for this semi-staged performance. We invite you to learn more about the artists performing in Sole e Amore and explore each piece through the program notes.
