Presented as part of Cincinnati Opera’s Winter Festival
One of the many wonderful things about music is the way it allows us to travel without leaving the comfort of our homes. This special remote concert combines the talents of Grammy-nominated soprano Talise Trevigne (Porgy and Bess, 2019), rising star conductor William R. Langley, and the provocative chamber ensemble concert:nova in order to create an enchanting musical travelogue. Highlights of this globe-spanning program include Debussy’s popular Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, three stunning songs by Debussy featuring Trevigne as vocalist and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s Louis Langrée as pianist, and the Cincinnati premiere of a small ensemble orchestration of Ravel’s Eastern-flavored Shéhérazade.
