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!
