American Opera Theater is proud to open its Baltimore season with a performance by one of America’s most beloved and renowned sopranos. Sylvia McNair, the two-time Grammy Award winning artists who has performed in every major opera house around the world including the Metropolitan Opera and the Salzburg Festival, appears on over 70 recordings, and was recently featured on an album of the worlds greatest sopranos, will make a rare appearance for Baltimore audiences in a new AOT production designed just for her. No doubt the hottest ticket of the Baltimore arts calendar, Songspiel will combine many of Kurt Weill’s most famous songs (from Mahagonny, Happy End, and Marie Galante) into an evening that uses melody and wit to explore the pains of a struggling nation. In this hard hitting and powerful production, the wonder of Ms. McNair’s voice and Kurt Weill’s unforgettable music come to life in Baltimore’s most intimate theater as they tell the story one womans life, confronting the issues of homelessness and economic crisis in America. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience one of the opera world’s greatest artists up close and personal. Tickets will be extremely limited for this unique performance, so get yours today!
