The Collegiate Chorale

The Collegiate Chorale, led by Robert Bass, who celebrates his 25th anniversary as Director of the Chorale, continues its 63rd season with a Verdi and Shakespeare concert featuring scenes from Verdi’s operas Otello, Macbeth, and Falstaff, with Sopranos Heidi Grant Murphy abd Kallen Esperian, Tenor Lando Barolini, Baritone Mark Delavan, actors Dana Ivey and Richard Easton and The Orchestra of St. Luke’s.
Written and conceived by Maestro Bass and newly-appointed Artistic Associate Roger Rees, this multi-disciplinary event combines the talent of both well-known opera singers and actors in order to explore the vital artistic significance of Shakespeare’s writing in Verdi’s life.
