Our signature fundraising event begins with a concert titled ‘Bel Canto to Bernstein’ in the sanctuary of Vanderbilt Presbyterian Church, a venue known for its superb acoustics. The one-hour concert on March 12th will showcase a trio of nationally recognized artists that will perform famous Bel Canto opera arias and ensembles, followed by a tribute to Leonard Bernstein. Returning favorite artists, Robyn Lamp (Tosca), Derrek Stark (Italian lover in Bats Revenge) and Cory Crider (Baron Scarpia in Tosca) will display their artistry and versatility in this highlights concert. Since last seen with Gulfshore Opera, these nationally recognized singers have been very busy with professional engagements. Robyn Lamp returned to Carnegie Hall for Verdi's Requiem in October and both Derrek Stark and Corey Crider have joined the roster of The Metropolitan Opera.
