SONGS TO DRINK WINE TO: PROSECCO EDITION to Return to Rochester Fringe

Soprano Sophia Mostafa will return to Rochester Fringe Festival at Blackfriars Theatre, Tuesday, September 15th at 7:30PM and Sunday, September 20th at 7PM. She performs a collection of art songs and arias primarily from Italy, including both favorites unconventional gems. Mostafa's lush sound takes audiences to the joys, sorrows, and all of the human emotions in between written by artists such as Puccini, Tosti, Bolcolm, and more in a dynamic program. The Rochester Fringe Festival runs from September 15th - 26th, 2026.

Mostafa's program includes both standard Italian as well as Neapolitan dialect in a delightful and unique program. Mostafa encourages audiences to think about the time in which these songs were composed, from the late 19th century to modern day, and how music and voice are capable of expressing our base emotions across political, economic, and generational borders. These songs are not just for big halls, but for musicians and their friends to celebrate each other's company and companionship.
