Chrisman Studio Artist Showcase

Join Opera Santa Barbara for our first in-theatre performance of the season at the Center Stage Theater June 5 and 6 at 2:30PM. Our Chrisman Studio Artist Showcase will feature three distinct solo performances highlighting the artistry of our resident artists with Opera Santa Barbara's Timothy Accurso on piano. Tenor Matthew Greenblatt will perform Charles Gounod's rarely performed Italian song cycle Biondina, directed by Lillian Groag. Mezzo-soprano Max Potter will perform Hector Berlioz's song cycle Les nuits d'été, directed by Sara E. Widzer. And soprano Brooklyn Snow will perform Jake Heggie's musical scene At the Statue of Venus directed by Layna Chianakas. Join us for an afternoon of musical storytelling as we explore love, loss, and that awkward feeling as you wait for a blind date!

June 5 & 6 at 2:30 pm
