FLORIDA GRAND OPERA TO PRESENT
OPERA-IN-THE-PARK
FREE CONCERT - FLAMINGO PARK
MAY 9, 2010 5:00 P.M.
Florida Grand Opera will present a free concert at Flamingo Park, Meridian Avenue and 12th Street, on Miami Beach at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 9, 2010. The Opera-In-The-Park concert will feature popular arias, duets and ensembles performed by artists appearing in Florida Grand Opera's final production of the 2009-2010 season, Bizet's Carmen.
Among the artists on May 9 will be the four principal artists from FGO's Carmen production: Mezzo-soprano Kendall Gladen, who appears in the title role; soprano Elaine Alvarez, who appears as Michaëla, tenor Adam Diegel, who sings Don José, and Mark Walters, who performs the role of the toreador Escamillo. Andrew Bisantz, Florida Grand Opera's Resident Conductor, will accompany the singers and Justin Moss will introduce each musical selection and briefly explain its context.
The Opera-In-The-Park free concert is supported by funding from the City of Miami Beach, Cultural Affairs Program, Cultural Affairs Council.
Florida Grand Opera was formed in June 1994 by the merger of Greater Miami Opera, founded in 1941, and The Opera Guild Inc., of Fort Lauderdale, founded in 1945. Celebrating its 69th season of continuous performances, Florida Grand Opera stands as one of the oldest performing arts organizations in Florida. In addition to producing standard repertoire, Florida Grand Opera also presents lesser known operas, as well as commissions and produces new operas. Annually, performances are attended by nearly 100,000 people, and education and outreach programs serve over 50,000 students. FGO offers several highly successful outreach and educational programs, including its internationally-recognized Young Artist Studio. Founded in 1984, the program attracts young singers who train and enhance their professional skills during a 35-week Miami residency.
