Academy of Vocal Arts
Ottorino Respighi: La fiamma (The Flame)
Christofer Macatsoris conducts the AVA Opera Orchestra
Program:
The Academy of Vocal Arts continues its tradition of presenting important, but lesser-known operas, in concert format. Recorded live at the Kimmel Center earlier in the month, La fiamma (The Flame) is a post-Romantic grand opera set in 7th-century Ravenna. The libretto is based on the play Anne Pedersdotter, The Witch by Han Wiers-Jenssen. The concert features several AVA rising stars, including soprano Jan Cornelius and tenor Michael Fabiano.AVA website
