Soprano Monique McDonald & Baritone Jonathan R. Greene, at Queens Central Library; Inna Leytush, Piano (Site)

Sunday December 3, 2017, 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Free

A performance of famous duets from grand operas by Verdi, Puccini, and Gershwin, plus popular music selections and festive music for the holidays.

American Soprano Monique McDonald is hailed for her dynamic stage presence. She is one of the prominent Verdian Sopranos of her generation. Ms. McDonald has appeared in numerous roles, including Lady Macbeth in Macbeth in Spain; Tosca and Elisabetta in Don Carlo with Opera Royal de Wallonie, Belgium; and Serena in Porgy & Bess in her debut with the Los Angeles Opera, to name a few. Her powerful and moving performances have captivated audiences and critics alike, drawing praise from The New York Times, The LA Times, and Opera News among others.

Joining her is baritone Jonathan R. Green, whose voice has been described as “rarity in our day, a full-scale Verdi baritone.” His operatic credits include Rigoletto, Falstaff, Germont (La Traviata), Crown (Porgy & Bess), Scarpia (Tosca) and Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro and Il Barbiere di Siviglia).

Inna Leytush will join on the piano.
