Night at the Opera

Last Saturday, April 18th, my boyfriend, brother and I went to the town of Wolfeboro NH for a performance put on by the Wolfeboro Friends of Music. It was fabulous.

A Night at the Opera

American lyric soprano Diane Penning sings well-loved opera arias, including works from “Phantom of the Opera” and “Porgy and Bess,” accompanied by American pianist Paul Bisaccia, a charismatic compelling artist who enjoys being a showman.

A Night of Opera

Ms. Penning and Mr. Bisaccia were phenomenal. They preformed Verdi, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Pucinni, Sheldon & Harnick, and Rodgers & Hammerstein in the first half and Donizetti, Gershwin and Bernstein in the second half. Additionally, Bisaccia played an assortment of Chopin, who is known for his love of opera. It was a beautiful night. Penning’s voice combined with Bisaccia’s skill at the piano made the night fly by.

If you can, try to get over to Wolfeboro for one of their performances. They get excellent groups and performers and put on a great show!
