Juilliard Returns to the Stage with Fall Schedule of In-Person,
Livestreamed, and On-Demand Performances
***
Juilliard’s Ellen and James S. Marcus Institute for Vocal Arts, led by Brian Zeger, artistic director, announces its fall season of live opera and vocal arts performances. A major event this fall is the New York staged premiere of Luigi Rossi’s L’Orfeo with Juilliard415, conducted by Avi Stein and directed by Mary Birnbaum, on November 10, 12, and 14, in Juilliard’s Peter Jay Sharp Theater. Juilliard Songfest will be presented on December 6, at 7:30pm, in Alice Tully Hall, in a program curated and performed by Zeger with Juilliard singers. Additionally this year, renowned opera singers and distinguished visiting faculty members mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves and tenor Lawrence Brownlee will continue their coaching work with Juilliard singers. Vocal Arts students gave several performances last year which are now available on demand, most notably Handel’s Teseo, directed by Stephen Wadsworth with Gary Thor Wedow conducting Juilliard415 and Juilliard singers. A short documentary, Toward Handel’s Teseo, which outlines the lengths taken by the school to fully produce an opera in pandemic conditions is also available. Additional Vocal Arts performances from last year will be released on demand this fall.
