Hear the most famous chorus from Verdi's Nabucco and you'll see why it became the anthem for Italian patriots.  This special event will be filled with many exhilarating opera moments.  After the Comedy of Figaro and the Tragedy of Lucia, it's time to soar through an inspirational evening featuring some of the most powerful Arias ever sung.  

Francesco Maria Colombo, our La Boheme maestro, will return from Italy to narrate, conduct and express the heart-felt meaning of these favorite arias. For the veteran audience, it will be a nostalgic sampling of their favorite opera experiences; for those new to opera, this evening is a showcase of opera’s greatest hits.
