LAURA LOLITA PEREŠIVANA soprano

WILLIAM VANN piano

Songs by William WALTON, ROSSINI, DUPARC, FLANDERS AND SWANN, Stephen SONDHEIM, and arias from Manon by MASSENET and La rondine by PUCCINI, and Quattro canzoni popolari by Luciano BERIO.

Laura is returning to Norfolk for the second time. The Latvian soprano joined the prestigious Academy at La Scala, Milan this season and has already made her debut there in Verdi's Simon Boccanegra. She was asked to cover the role of Magda in La rondine within days of her arrival in a new production - clearly La Scala loves Laura as much as we do!
