SUMMARY:30th Annual Bel Canto Opera
DESCRIPTION:Part-time Blandford resident Eve Queler, now 94, an internationally acclaimed conductor who has guest conducted on podiums worldwide to sold-out audiences — including over 100 operas at Carnegie Hall — is the driving force behind the longstanding program now in its 30th year. This regional spectacular event was initially created by Maestra Queler to help save the iconic church structure, a cherished local landmark.\nMaestra Queler has selected emerging global talent for this year’s concert, which will include works by Mozart, Johann Strauss, Puccini, Rossini, and Donizetti. This year’s ensemble includes French soprano Soléne Le Van, Bolivian soprano Shelén Hughes, Mezzo-soprano Madison Marie McIntosh, American coloratura soprano Catherine Wethington, and Baritone Joseph Parrish. Maestra Queler will be joined by her long-time accomplished accompanist Douglas Martin.\nKnown for its superb acoustics as well as beautiful setting, The White Church is more than 200 years old and listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.\nChildren 16 and under are FREE. Tickets can also be purchased at the door by card, cash or check, although space cannot be guaranteed.\n
