Italian opera and orchestrations combine to make this enjoyable program come to life!  Praised for her “rich and beautiful voice,”  Erin M. Smith is a dynamic performer throughout New England.  Joined by powerful tenor Yeghishe Manucharyan, a performer from the Metropolitan Opera, this magnificent duo performs the finale from Act 1 of La Boheme.  The lovely O mio babbino caro by Erin follows our opening number, Oveture to Barbiere di Siviglia.  Then Yeghishe wows us with Una furtiva lagrima by Donizetti. Our strings shine in Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony, and our brass are highlighted in Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien.  Put up your feet and relax!
