The Gateway Festival Orchestra announces “Opera Unleashed: High Notes & High Drama,” an afternoon that blows the roof off preconceived notions of opera!
Under the baton of Dr. Leon Burke III, four phenomenal soloists—Nini Wang, Nadiana Ortiz, Justino Gordon-Le Chevalié, and Antonio Watts—will deliver opera’s most dazzling moments, from the famous “crying clown” aria of Pagliacci to the thunderous, epic force of Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries.”
Escape the summer humidity, settle into the cool, air-conditioned comfort of the indoor 560 Music Center, and prepare for pure theatrical electricity. This powerful vocal showcase cannot be missed!

560 Music Center (560 Trinity Ave, University City)
Admission: Free! No tickets needed. Free parking in adjacent garage.
