About this Event

Orchestra Miami presents Puccini’s Legacy, a Gala Concert commemorating the centennial of the great Italian composer Giacomo Puccini’s death on November 24, 1924. This fabulous evening features world-class performances by 7 world-class opera singers and choir performing selections from some of Puccini’s most beloved operas, as well as some of the lesser heard masterworks. The 56 musicians of Orchestra Miami shine under the baton of Orchestra Miami’s Artistic Director Maestro Elaine Rinaldi.

Our highly acclaimed soloists include sopranos Elaine Alvarez, Maria Natale and Eglise Gutierrez, tenors Ben Gulley and Martin Nusspalmer, and baritones Mark Delavan and Joseph Lodato. The choir features our excellent local professional choristers alongside students from the New World School for the Arts,
