The “intense and intelligent” (New York Times) Michael Schade is joined by dynamic young bass-baritone Luca Pisaroni, who recently dazzled audiences with his “amazing performance” (Associated Press) as Caliban in The Metropolitan Opera’s The Enchanted Island. The men sing duets as well as solo arias and lieder in this wide-ranging program.

Please note: Mr. Pisaroni replaces the previously scheduled Thomas Quasthoff, who has retired from performing.
