Opera & Broadway of the Hamptons will return to the East End bringing the great “chestnuts” of the Opera and Broadway favorites in their program “A SOUTHAMPTON SALUTE TO SUMMER: CRISTINA FONTANELLI AND HER FABULOUS FRIENDS” taking place for the 4th year in a row in the magnificent Basilica of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in the heart of the Village of Southampton, within walking distance of shops and restaurants.

Starring and hosted by the award-winning singer/PBS-TV/WLIW and CBS-TV host, Cristina Fontanelli will perform (“The best work came from Soprano, Cristina Fontanelli.”- the New York Times; “Vocal genius“- NY Sun; “Cristina Fontanelli at Feinstein’s at the Regency is like seeing a cross between Maria Callas and Ethel Merman. She has no equal.” – Forbes Magazine); along with her guest tenor, Matthew Cerillo. Making a Lincoln Center solo debut at age 24, Matthew is one of opera’s most sought after young tenors. Russian pianist Alexander Chaplinskiy (from St.Petersburg) piano performances include a performance at Carnegie Hall as a winner in the Moscow Piano Competition. 13 year-old Faith Mullaly of the Montauk School will sing from the broadway hit ‘Les Miserables’. Due to the quality of her outstanding voice young Faith has been invited to sing at the Bay Street Theatre, the Old Whaler’s Church, the Montauk Lighthouse for the restoration ribbon cutting ceremony (attended by Governor Kathy Hochul) and now, for the 2nd year in a row, Faith has been invited to Cristina Fontanelli and her world-class artist guest performers on-stage on August 17. Christina Tsaveras (21 year-old) who choreographs and trains local youth for the Southampton Youth Services, Inc. will be dancing.
