In another sign that all things are returning to normal in the Valley, Sun Valley Opera has announced private garden performances are back. A July 8 concert at an undisclosed personal residence featuring Lawrence Brownlee kicks off the series.
Brownlee, an African-American, is a leading figure in opera, both as a singer on the world’s top stages and as a voice for activism and diversity in the industry. Captivating audiences and critics around the globe, he has been hailed as “an international star in the bel canto operatic repertory” (The New York Times), “one of the world’s leading bel canto stars” (The Guardian), and “one of the most in-demand opera singers in the world today” (NPR).
Amidst the challenges of COVID-19, Brownlee has emerged as a pivotal voice in classical music’s shift toward digital programming and the resurgence of conversations around racial justice. On July 8 he will be singing his favorite arias, gospel songs and more, up close and personal in an intimate setting.
