I Puritani (Expired 7/26/21)

Vincenzo Bellini's I Puritani as we originally conceived it has now been cancelled.

HOWEVER, over the next few months, we will be working very hard to bring you a reduced, high-quality recorded version of the opera featuring the originally contracted artists and a small orchestra. All WCO staff and artists will be following strict COVID-19 safety guidelines throughout the production process of this concert.

Access to this presentation, which will be made available to stream online sometime in June 2021, will be FREE for all to enjoy.
