Runtime is approximately three hours. Opera San José presents six performances of this opera, opening in San José’s California Theatre on September 14, 2019, closing September 29, 2019.

  • Donald Chen Young Artist Award 2012 Competition
    WELCOME! The North Shore Choral Society welcomes you to the Donald Chen Young Artist Award competition. Dr. Donald Chen retired in 2008, at the end of the North Shore Choral Society’s 72nd season, after twenty-four years as our Music Director. Donald patiently led us from singing choppy notes to shaping melodic lines; challenged us with repertoire from Bach’s St. Matthew Passion to Fanshawe’s African Sanctus; gave us fresh perspective by comparing Brahms to wool and Duruflé to silk; and above all embodied for us the truth that music and learning and joy are North Shore Choral Society intertwined. In his honor, the North Shore Choral Society established the Donald Chen Young Artist Award, which rewards a talented young singer with a solo role in one of our concerts each season. Thank you, Donald, for your inspired teaching and superb musicianship. Donald Chen Young Artist Award This year nine finalists have been selected from applications by singers ages 19-26 who reside in the Chicago area. Our panel of judges will hear each of the finalists sing an 2012 Competition operatic aria and a contrasting art song or oratorio aria of his or her choice. The judges will give awards for first, second, and third prizes at the conclusion of today’s competition. The first-prize winner will also be awarded a solo March 31, 2012, 3:00 p.m. performance in an upcoming North Shore Choral Society concert. Trinity United Methodist Church 1024 Lake Avenue, Wilmette, IL The North Shore Choral Society is supported in part by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, an agency of the State of Illinois.
