Free opera

For those who couldn't get enough of Carmen onthe Common, The Boston Lyric Opera opens it's new season with free opera at the Hatch Shell.

This Wednesday, 7/28 the BLO and BLO will present Highlights from Tosca. The concert is free and runs form 7-9pm.

From the BLO announcement:

Boston Lyric Opera and the Boston Landmarks Orchestra will showcase excerpts from the opera world’s beloved masterpiece, Tosca, by Giacomo Puccini, which will be the opening opera for BLO’s exciting 2010-2011 Season. Jill Gardner, who will sing the title role in November, will perform with her husband, Jake Gardner, who was recently seen as the “Music Master” in BLO’s critically acclaimed Ariadne auf Naxos. The Gardners will be joined by Richard Crawley, Taylor Horner, and the Boston Lyric Opera Chorus. The singers will be led by guest conductor Andrew Bisantz, who will also be the conductor for the production in November.

The night will also include a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 by the Boston Landmarks Orchestra, conducted by Charles Ansbacher.
