The program begins with Mozart’s Overture to La clemenza di Tito, and Handel’s “Son nata a lagrimar” from Julius Caesar. Next the program will feature Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance “All is prepared…Stay, Frederick, Stay” followed by La traviata’s “Sempre libera”; Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers “Au fond du temple saint”; J. Strauss Die Fledermous “Voice of my homeland (Czàrdàs)” and Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Then one of us will be a Queen.”
A Mozart piece from Cosi fan tutte, an intermezzo from Mascoagni’s Cavalleria rusticana and The Sound of Music “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” will come next.
The final three pieces are A Midsummer Night’s Dream “Lovers’ Awakening” by Britten, Sondheim’s Into the Woods “No one is Alone,” and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic from Carousel “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
