Nelson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald
The one-hour presentation will include performances by soprano Kim Swan and baritone Dino Valle, accompanied by pianist Jacqueline Csurgai-Schmitt.
Bellini Opera was founded by opera enthusiast Roslino Lo Duca, a native of Cinisi in the province of Palermo, out of his deep love for the Sicilian customs and language and his passion for music of Vincenzo Bellini.
Co-founder Dino Valle hopes to foster the enjoyment of operatic music for today’s audience through a series of concerts, recitals, lectures and other out-reach programs in Michigan and Florida.
In addition to the June concert, the Theatre will present A Tribute to Katheryn Grayson and Mario Lanza at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 21.
