The Lyra Orchestra holds a special place in the hearts of 17th and 18th century music lovers. Jacques Ogg is one of the worlds finest Harpsichord players and as the Artistic Director of this ensemble he has led them on an enlightened path through the works of Bach, Telemann, Bieber, Schmelzer. The Lyra Orchestra performed in France this summer and brings in internationally acclaimed performers.

Friday night I had the privilege of photographing Project Opera’s dress rehearsal. Project Opera is The Minnesota Opera’s young musicians program for singers. About 50 students performed scenes from several operas including the Magic Flute by Mozart. The singing was extraordinary and the acting that I witnessed belied their ages. These young singers can get it done! Here are some photos but the entire body of my pictures can be seen on my website in the slideshows section under Project Opera (password Salome)
I was so delighted with what I saw that I am going to have my own daughter look into this. Thank you so much!
