Craig Hart performs with the Opera Orchestra of New York at Carnegie Hall
 On Sunday, November 6th, Community Division faculty member Craig Hart sang the bass role of Prince de Bouillon in the Opera Orchestra of New York's performance of Adriana Lecouvreur. The concert was held at Carnegie Hall where Mr. Hart shared the stage with soprano Angela Gheorghiu, tenor Jonas Kaufmann, soprano Anita Rachvelishvili, and baritone Ambrigio Maestri.
The performance marked the 109th anniversary of Francesco Cilea and Arturo Colautti's opera, Adriana Lecouvreur. This work is named for a French actress who was widely popular during the early eighteenth century and died under mysterious circumstances. You can read more about the performance in The Classical Review.
