Opera Lucca

For the 2024 season, we are staging Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi and Suor Angelica to commemorate the centennial of his death. Vocalists who would like to audition for a lead role should sing a selection from the opera. Singers will also be assigned opera scenes and arias, based on audition, for performances in local venues. Main opera scenes will come from Le nozze di Figaro, Così fan tutte, La bohème, La Traviata, and other bel canto, baroque, and dramatic repertoire. Other scenes will be chosen from standard bel canto, Romantic, and Baroque Italian repertoire, including Mozart, Rossini, Verdi, Puccini, Donizetti, Pergolesi, Handel, etc.
