Bronx Concert Singers: A Night at the Opera
Join The Bronx Concert Singers (BCS) and music director Robert René Galván on Sunday, May 6, at 4:30 pm for their 31st Annual Spring Concert: A Night at the Opera, at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1891 McGraw Avenue, in Parkchester, Bronx, NY. The program features the BCS concert choir, with professional soloists and chamber ensemble.
BCS' A Night at the Opera explores the art of theatrical music through arias, choruses and opera scenes. The concert features music ranging from the sublime "Au fond du temple saint," from Georges Bizet's The Pearl Fishers, to the deeply moving "Vissi d'arte," from Giacomo Puccini's Tosca, and favorites such as the "Habanera," from Bizet's Carmen. The afternoon also includes the music of Leonard Bernstein's Candide, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, Giuseppe Verdi's Un ballo in maschera, and much more. The program presents both original works from opera and musical theater as well as arrangements for chorus and instrumentalists.
Tickets are available in advance and at the door from BCS: General admission is $20 / two for $35, seniors and students with valid ID, $15 and children through high school, $5. Tickets may also be charged through Brown Paper Tickets by phone at 1-800-838-3006, or online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/237772 .
