“Opera Love” w/ Golden Gate Symphony (Benecia)

You don’t have to know opera to LOVE opera. Fiery arias! Sweeping choruses! Big emotions! You’ll hear showstopping highlights from opera’s greatest hits — La Traviata, Carmen, Il Trovatore, Die Zauberflöte, Nabucco, and more — performed by a full orchestra, chorus, and a powerhouse cast of soloists.

Whether you’re a longtime opera lover or just opera-curious, Opera LOVE is your chance to feel it all — the passion, the heartbreak, the beauty.

Come for the drama. Stay for the heart.

Urs Leonhardt Steiner, conductor

Celeste Camarena, mezzo-soprano

Tony de Louisa, bass
Alodiah Lunar, mezzo-soprano
Chris Poston, tenor
