A cornerstone of the arts community in the Upper Valley since 1982, Opera North has dedicated its efforts for the past 37 years to delivering artistic excellence to northern New England as the only full-time, professional opera company in New Hampshire. During its lifetime, the company has evolved from a grassroots community theater troupe to a professional, regional opera company presenting three-four mainstage productions between July and October, as well as a series of concerts, special events and educational outreach activities throughout New Hampshire and Vermont each year.
I am thrilled to announce my summer engagement as the 2024 Resident Artist Pianist & Coach for Opera North’s upcoming Summerfest. I’ll serve as the rehearsal pianist for Offenbach's Orphee aux enfers, Verdi's Rigoletto and Sondheim's Into the Woods (Keyboard Artist in orchestra)
Gather round! The March of the Toreadors has begun! A beloved score, the scintillating Habanera, the sexy Seguidilla! Perhaps no other opera stirs the blood as much as the passionate tale of Carmen and her brazen love. Georges Bizet scandalized audiences when he conjured his fiery heroine. He died before the daring Carmen became one of opera’s most famous figures and its songs the most familiar. Let Opera North transport you to the scarlet world of Spain’s back streets, bullrings, and conflicted hearts.
