About this Event
Performers from across North America come to Niagara to celebrate the human voice, performance, the arts, and the 100th anniversary of the death of Italian mega-composer, Giacomo Puccini. Join us on Sunday, June 30th at 7:30pm for our Gala Concert Event and walk the red-carpet with your besties or your loved one! Dress up for a night of beauty and culture in Niagara! The perfect date night! Then, come learn about the remarkable Giacomo Puccini on Tuesday, July 2, at 7:30pm with Niagara's own Italian soprano, musicologist, and Wall of Fame recipient, Dr. Maria Vetere. Return to us on Friday, July 5, or Saturday, July 6th (both at 7:30pm) to experience Puccini's first opera, Le Villi! Less than 1 hour in run-time, you will be quickly drawn into Puccini's amazing palate of melody, drama, and even featuring one of Niagara's dance-studios as special guest performer.
Le Villi will be semi-staged, and performed musically by
Erika Reiman, piano

George Cleland, violin
Charlene Flikkema, flute
Lindsey Duggan, oboe and english horn
and Kalam Elgersma, percussion
Artistic Director by Daniel Abadie
