A murderous mistress, a tempestuous gypsy slain, and an eligible bachelor bearing a silver rose for a lucky mistress. No, you’re not watching The Bachelor or Cougartown  . . . this is opera at its best! Music Director Laureate Carmon DeLeone conducts a program of operatic works for orchestra.

From the jealous and love obsessed characters of these operas, to the melodramatic film music of Legrand, these works will have you begging for the night’s drama and intrigue to continue.
