Opera al Fresco with Eve Queler

6:00 Cocktails
6:45 Performance

What better way to celebrate a mid-summer’s eve than with Eve Queler? Join us Saturday, August 7 to welcome back to LongHouse our dear friend, world-recognized maestro and Artistic Director Emerita of the Opera Orchestra of New York. Ms. Queler’s illustrious career is well-known in the states and abroad. She conducted the Cleveland Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Montreal Symphony, and Orchestra Sinfonia Siciliana in Palemo and has directed more than 100 operas in concert at Carnegie Hall, many rarely performed, bringing them to the attention of the American public. Eve Queler is the recipient of the Chevalier de L’Ordre des Artes et des Lettres and is a National Endowment for the Arts honoree. For this performance, she will be joined at the piano by two colleagues, tenor, Matthew White and soprano Teresa Castillo, who will entertain us with works by Donizetti, Puccini, Verdi, Gounod, and Mascagni.
