WCO Presents: Donizetti's MARIA DI ROHAN
Washington Concert Opera and their Artistic Director, Maestro Antony Walker, are proud to continue their 2017/2018 season of Bel Canto with Donizetti's Maria di Rohan on Sunday, February 18th. The performance will start at 6pm and will take place at Lisner Auditorium on the campus of George Washington University.
A classic love triangle with a tragic twist, Maria di Rohan follows the story of a woman torn between the man she loves and the man to whom she is secretly married. Duels, love letters, underground tunnels and political intrigue ensue. Lifted from a 19th century French play and transformed into this atypically dramatic Bel Canto work, WCO welcomes four acclaimed artists to their stage in company debuts: soprano Marina Costa-Jackson in the title role, tenor Norman Reinhardt as Riccardo, baritone Lester Lynch as Enrico, and mezzo-soprano (and sister to Marina), Ginger Costa-Jackson as Gondì.
Washington Concert Opera is a professional concert opera company offering internationally acclaimed singers, professional orchestra and chorus in concert versions of rarely heard, full-length operatic works. Founded in 1986, WCO has presented more than 40 operas, featuring world-class singers who regularly appear on the most renowned opera house stages. WCO strives to provide audiences with a unique musical experience and has repeatedly and consistently been acclaimed in the local, national, and international press as one of the finest in the field. www.concertopera.org
