Opera Revue Presents: A Very Weill Night of Verdi

Blending  the timeless melodies of TWO of music's greatest genre defining  composers. 

Giuseppe Verdi, a man nearly destroyed by unbelievable  tragedy in his early life, would go on to pen the  revolutionary chorus  Va Pensiero, the unofficial anthem of the oppressed and those yearning  for freedom. His name was shouted in the streets, igniting the fire that  would eventually forge Italy as a country.

And  Kurt Weill, born only a year after the death of Verdi, would take up  the struggle against another vile foe: Nazi Germany. Forced to abandon  his home, 

Weill used his talents to shine and “make a thousand beautiful  things during the short and troubled time he had”  Barely 50 years old  when he died of a heart attack, his music has been sung by icons such as  Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Tom Waits, David Bowie, and the Doors.

Featuring very special guest singers:
