Rough guidelines on how to select a piece for each concert.
July 11 An Evening of Opera
Rehearsal Monday July 10 at 6pm
|
One opera aria in any language.
The first and the last concerts are extremely popular. If you sign up for both, list which date is your #1 choice. Scotty will put you on the waiting list for the #2 choice and add you if there is space. The goal is to let as many singers perform as possible.
No scenes for these two concerts. |
