The Verdi Chorus’ 39th season culminates with VERDISSIMO! Plus! for two performances only at the First Presbyterian Church in Santa Monica on April 29 and 30. Led by Founding Artistic Director Anne Marie Ketchum, the Verdi Chorus is the only choral group in Southern California that focuses primarily on the dramatic and diverse music for opera chorus. The program will feature selections from four Verdi operas – Otello, Il trovatore, La forza del destino, and Un ballo in maschera, as well as beloved melodies from Strauss’ Die Fledermaus.The program will also feature four guest soloists: soprano Jessica Tivens Schneiderman, hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “a singer of considerable gifts,” celebrated mezzo soprano Danielle Marcelle Bond, who was part of the Grammy Award winning cast of LA Opera’s Ghosts of Versailles, tenor Todd Wilander, praised by The New York Times for his “brave, vocally assured portrayals” and who has returned for over eight seasons thus far with The Metropolitan Opera, and renowned baritone Roberto Perlas Gómez who, with over 100 roles to his credit, has performed extensively throughout the United States.
These performances are made possible, in part, through the generous support of the Sahm Family Foundation and by grant funding from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture.
