OPERA IN THE PARK is Coming to Plummer Park in West Hollywood

Global Musical Bridges and the City of West Hollywood will present their first annual classical outdoor concert, Opera in the Park. Showcasing internationally acclaimed classical singers from across Europe and North America, this family-friendly concert features both classical and contemporary music: favorite arias from Puccini, Verdi, Mozart, Gounod, and others; melodies from classic musicals by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Leonard Bernstein, and Jeanine Tesori; hauntingly romantic Neapolitan canzones from early 20th century; and contemporary songs made popular by Whitney Huston, Andrea Bocelli, and Celine Dion. The eight musical artists sharing their talents have an impressive array of credentials. Collectively, they have performed with some of the best musical artists in the business, with a vast number of regional opera companies and concert symphonies across North America and Europe, and on film, television, and radio. They are each deeply committed to bringing classical music to both new and aficionado audiences, and many lead their own musical companies and organizations. Come support classical music and artists, and enjoy a beautiful afternoon in the park!

The concert will take place on October 23 at 3pm.
