The Sembrich Presents: Soprano Alexandra Nowakowski This Weekend

BOLTON LANDING — The Sembrich presents Soprano Alexandra Nowakowski, grand prize winner of the 2018 Marcella Sembrich International Voice Competition, in a rhapsodic lakeside performance at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 21.

The performance titled “Songs to the Moon: Mad Scenes, Love Songs, and Other Lunar Events,” includes the “Silver Aria” from Douglas Moore’s Ballad of Baby Doe, Dvorak’s beloved “Song to the Moon” from Rusalka, Nanetta’s enchanting call to the fairies from Verdi’s Falstaff, and the renowned “Mad Scene” from Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. The program also includes the premiere of a new arrangement of “Moonrise,” prepared especially for this performance, based on the heartbreaking final scene from Richard Wargo’s Chekhov-inspired opera, A Visit to the Country.

Tickets are $40 and can be purchased online at TheSembrich.org/tickets or by calling 518-644-2431. This performance will take place on the lakeshore under a performance tent.

The Sembrich is located at 4800 Lake Shore Drive, Bolton Landing. For more information, visit www.TheSembrich.org or call 518- 644-2431 or email: Office@TheSembrich.org.
