Seattle Opera Songs of Summer with Tess Altiveros
Free
This event has been rescheduled to July 2, 2020.
Tess Altiveros, soprano
Elisabeth Ellis, piano
Stephen Stubbs, lute
Equally at home in repertoire ranging from the 17th century to the 21st, soprano Tess Altiveros is best known to Seattle Opera audiences for her bold and affecting work in our three groundbreaking chamber productions: The Combat (2017), O+E (2018), and The Falling and the Rising (2019.) A native Seattleite, her “pure gold” (Opera Magazine) voice has charmed audiences from the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts to Carnegie Hall.
Framing her recital with selections from Francis Poulenc’s Tel jour telle nuit song cycle, Altiveros and pianist Elisabeth Ellis take us from morning to evening with pieces that trace daily thoughts and rituals. Highlights include three shorts songs from Emerson Eads’s Love Is cycle using poetry by children responding to the question is “What is love?”
The livestream will take place at 7pm Pacific.
