Looking Forward

    I am proud and excited to be joining the Opera Camerata of Washington. 
In the eleven years of its existence, Opera Camerata has specialized in presenting neglected works of important composers.  While this is important for the education of our musical public, I would like to incorporate such obscure works with some of the more standard repertoire.  I believe this combinaton will provide something for everyone's musical taste.
    On February 16, 2001 we presented four outstanding young Metropolitan Opera audition finalists in concert at the Austrian Embassy.  This highly successful event proved that there is an abundance of young talent in the Washington area yet to be discovered.  I would like to make it a priority of Opera Camerata to feature up-and-coming singers.  We will integrate such young talent with internationally renowned artists from the Metropolitan Opera and other theaters.  Lastly, we plan to begin showcasing our operas in fully and semi-staged roductions.
