Opera and ‘The Firebird’
Irving Arts Center - Carpenter Hall 3333 N MacArthur Blvd, Irving
Don't miss Stravinsky's blazing 'Firebird Suite," for a warm afternoon of music with the jolliest opera arias from Mozart and Rossini, sung by baritone Michael Pandolfo!
You'll hear the orchestra in some of your favorite overtures - to "The Magic Flute" by Mozart, and "The Barber of Seville" by Rossini, followed by three unforgettable arias sung by this nationally recognized baritone, who has performed on the Metropolitan Opera stage. They include the light-hearted Figaro aria from "The Barber of Seville," the entrance aria of Papageno in "The Magic Flute," and a teasing aria from "The Marriage of Figaro."
Add Stravinsky's spectacular "Firebird" Suite, based on Russian folk tales, and it's a magical afternoon!
