For over 125 years, the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, the Met has been the artistic home for opera worldwide. Along with being one of the world's leading opera houses, the Met has also become a launching pad for opera stars on the brink of stardom. Some of today's leading artists such as Renee Fleming, Susan Graham, Debroah Voigt, Thomas Hampson, and Mariusz Kwiecien rose through the ranks of the Met. Another generation of young sisters is waiting in the wings to be discovered, and just like major stars that have preceded them, these young singers are dynamic, highly skilled, and are sure to impress.
The featured performers for the evening will be soprano Amanda Woodbury, mezzo-soprano Sarah Mesko, tenor Adam Diegel, baritone David Won, and pianist Brent Funderburk in a night of the world's most popular arias, duets and ensembles by some of opera's greatest composers. Be sure to catch the Met's next generation of superstars in Metropolitan Opera Rising Stars Concert!
