Experience an unforgettable evening of operatic brilliance. This special concert features headlining artists from this season’s Opera Festival of Chicago.

Join us at Jarvis Opera Hall in the Holtschneider Performance Center for a captivating performance celebrating the richness and beauty of Italian opera. The evening will feature music by great verismo composers such as Puccini, Leoncavallo, Mascagni and Giordano, brought to life by an exceptional lineup of artists. Soprano Alexandra Razskazoff, a Grand Finals Winner in the 2022 Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, has been praised by The New York Times as a “richly faceted, slinky soprano” and by Opera News for a voice that is “rich, distinctive of timbre, and penetrating, and possesses a lovely bloom on top.” She is joined by dramatic soprano Zhanna Alkhazova, heralded by Opera News for her “bright, sword-flashing sound,” tenor Nathan Granner, acclaimed for his “marvelous intensity” (Gramophone) and described as “a stirring tenor of equal parts metal and warmth” (Opera News), and baritone Franco Pomponi, “the real article, a baritone with a warm focused tone and a genuine feel for true Italian legato singing.” (Chicago Tribune) Tickets for the concert are $150.

Elevate your experience with an exclusive VIP Pre-Show Reception starting at 5:30 PM in Room C109, just steps from the hall. VIP tickets are $250 and include drinks and hors d’oeuvres, access to a silent auction, the concert, and a unique opportunity to “peek behind the curtain,” meet, and engage with Festival artists.
