Renowned for their vocal virtuosity, mezzo-soprano Marie-Nicole Lemieux and tenor Michael Spyres (OPER! 2024 Best Singer) join forces with Opera Rara’s Artistic Director Carlo Rizzi for a concert featuring works by Donizetti and Berlioz.

Celebrated internationally in the bel canto repertory, Marie-Nicole Lemieux and Opera Rara’s Artist Ambassador Michael Spyres have performed in the world’s most prestigious opera houses and concert halls. Giulio Zappa, who joins them at the piano, enjoys a long-standing reputation as one of the world’s foremost accompanists. With a programme curated by Donizetti expert Roger Parker, this is a unique opportunity to hear three of the world’s finest operatic artists live in concert.
