Amore, Opera's Greatest Hits




The Spokane Symphony presents 'Amore, Opera's Greatest Hits' this Friday, March 30 at 7:30pm at the Martin Woldson Theatre at the Fox. The Symphony will be joined by singers Mela Dailey, Soprano; Jami Tyzik, Mezzo-Soprano; Brandon Wood, Tenor and Marcus DeLoach, Baritone.

This will be an expertly crafted evening of the most popular melodies everyone knows (whether they know they know or not) bringing the drama, romance, seduction and betrayal of Opera to the concert stage. Simply semi-staged, the four talented young vocalists bring these stories to life with their fun and energetic introductions between numbers and their captivating performances in the most famous solos, duets and quartets from Rigoletto, La Boheme, La Traviata, Carmen and much more!
