WCO Presents: Donizetti's MARIA DI ROHAN

Washington Concert Opera and their Artistic Director, Maestro Antony Walker, are proud to continue their 2017/2018 season of Bel Canto with Donizetti's Maria di Rohan on Sunday, February 18th. The performance will start at 6pm and will take place at Lisner Auditorium on the campus of George Washington University.

A classic love triangle with a tragic twist, Maria di Rohan follows the story of a woman torn between the man she loves and the man to whom she is secretly married. Duels, love letters, underground tunnels and political intrigue ensue. Lifted from a 19th century French play and transformed into this atypically dramatic Bel Canto work, WCO welcomes four acclaimed artists to their stage in company debuts: soprano Marina Costa-Jackson in the title role, tenor Norman Reinhardt as Riccardo, baritone Lester Lynch as Enrico, and mezzo-soprano (and sister to Marina), Ginger Costa-Jackson as Gondì.
