Join us on YouTube for the launch of Opera Rara’s Volumes 3 & 4 of the Donizetti Songs collection. Opera Rara’s Artistic Director Carlo Rizzi at the piano performs with American tenor and Opera Rara’s Artist Ambassador Michael Spyres on Volume 3, and on Volume 4, Canadian mezzo-soprano Marie-Nicole Lemieux performs with Italian pianist Giulio Zappa as they share their recital albums featuring songs that have not been heard in nearly 200 years. The curator of the Donizetti Song Project and editor of the new critical edition of songs, Roger Parker, will give insights into this recently restored collection of previously unknown works by Donizetti.
Enjoy a first listen to selections from each recording, and join us immediately following the event for the pre-release of the two albums on Opera Rara’s YouTube channel.
