Bel Canto Young Artists Showcase
Family, Community, Opera!
Family drama! The stories we tell ourselves about family are the most profound we know, from the myths to the movies. Opera is no different: the eternal joys and sorrows of family, community and belonging are brought to the height of expression through transcendent music. Teatro Nuovo brings the MAM community a program of operatic families -- their tears and laughter unforgettably depicted by Verdi, Wagner, Bellini, Puccini, Engelbert Humperdinck and still more!
