"Second Soprano tells the story of musical traditions in my family and pays tribute to my late sister, legitimate soprano Barbara Hightower on her birthday," says Cheryl Warfield, a professional opera singer with credits from Broadway to the Lyric Opera of Chicago and founder of NYC's MORE Opera. Barbara was a phenomenal singer with an extensive vocal range who sang diverse types of music from semi-classical to contemporary gospel with great abandon. The compelling story compares the passions and career choices of two sisters through narrative and song. The program features music from the Black church including spirituals by Burleigh, Johnson, and Bonds, sacred classics Barbara sang like The Lord is My Light, and some of Cheryl's signature arias. This is a hybrid presentation with a live audience on Saturday, June 25 at 4:30 pm at St. John's in the Village, 218 West 11th Street, NYC 10014 and can be viewed online anytime through July 31, 2022.
