Merola Opera Program Presents Schwabacher Summer Concert
Performances are August 3 and 5.
Bay Area audiences are invited to revel in the drama and melody of classic opera during the Schwabacher Summer Concert, in which the young artists of the 2023 Merola Opera Program will perform extended scenes from works by Donizetti, Handel, Verdi, and others. Featuring a full orchestra, the Schwabacher Summer Concert will be conducted by Maestro Steven White and directed by Omer Ben Seadia (Merola '14). Maestro White's extensive operatic engagements have included performances throughout North America, including an acclaimed Metropolitan Opera debut in 2010. Known for her inventive, thoughtful, and socially conscious productions, Merola alum Ben Seadia began to work extensively in the U.S. in 2012 after more than a decade with the Israeli Opera.
