The fireworks continue long past New Year's with Opera Buffa's greatest genius, Gioachino Rossini.
As his waistline expanded, he tossed fulsome opera for slender song, and left the world a feast of intimate treasures fit for decadent salonistes.
A banquet shared by two masters of the bel canto repertoire, come hear why Stendhal called Rossini "the musical embodiment of Paris."
Repertoire to include La Regata Veneziana, various settings of Mi Lagnerò Tacendo, and songs of Pauline Viardot.
A wine and cheese reception will follow this performance.
