I’m auditioning/performing with the DC Chapter of Opera On Tap! This is an incredible international organization of singers bringing opera to the people—we will perform at the Wonderland Ballroom, a bar in the Columbia Heights area of Washington DC. It’s a bar, so what’s more appropriate that singing a little “Libiamo” from La Traviata? I’m keeping the Verdi good times going with my own audition selection—Sul fil d’un soffio etesio from Falstaff. Come for a drink, music and infuse your Thursday evening with fun! I appreciate your support in my “audition” portion of the evening—-I’ll be singing sometime around the end of the program, a few drinks in for most.
