Through the MOT’s Department of Education and Community Programs, we were entertained by Mezzo Soprano Katherine DeYoung and Soprano Angela Theis in the War Memorial library. They were accompanied by pianist Tessa Hartle and Arthur White, the Director of External Affairs. Before performing each song (two by each singer), Mr. White provided a brief summary of the opera of the song’s origin, the character singing it, and the circumstances surrounding it.
Kudos to Liz Vogel for arranging this performance. It was an entertaining change of pace from our speaker format. To see video footage of the performances please follow these links...
