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.

DESCRIPTION

The year 1920 marked a major turning point for equality in America: the year that the 19th Amendment was ratified, giving women the right to vote. On November 2, 2020, join Washington Concert Opera for a free online concert celebrating the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, filmed at the National Museum of Women in the Arts here in Washington, DC.

Featuring the music of Virgil Thompson, Florence B. Price, and more.

DESCRIPTION

We are so pleased to be able to present to you, our loyal audience, a virtual mini concert of arias from Verdi's Simon Boccanegra in place of a live performance!
