The KSO, over the last 20 seasons, has offered audiences complete concert operas — Tosca, Otello, La Boheme, Rigoletto, Samson & Delilah and Turandot. These productions featured a number of internationally recognized singers, many with local ties (CCM and the Cincinnati Opera). Four of these artists return as two couples for L’Opera Famiglia on November 21 at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains. Mezzo soprano Stacey Rishoi appeared in a KSO “Sopranos” evening and as Delilah (Samson & Delilah). Her husband Gustav Andreassen (bass) sang the role of Sparafucille (Rigoletto). Stacey and Gus when not on the road reside Bellevue, KY. Stuart Neill KSO at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral Feb. 23, 2020 (tenor) and Sandra Lopez (soprano) met as Rodolfo and Mimi in the KSO’s 2007 production of La Boheme. They were married a couple years later and live in Miami. “As with any team sport or artistic collaboration, cast chemistry is vital for success. We were fortunate for the stars to align to find these wonderful performers available this week,” commented KSO music director, James Cassidy. Those who don’t think that opera is their cup of tea, might be surprised to find many of the selections on the program very familiar to a universal audience (see below).

His introduction to music was through his mother, who played both piano and organ, and his singing career began as a boy soprano in a church choir. At 16, “Addie” graduated from Alcee Fortier High School where he had been active in musical and dramatic presentations. He served in the U.S. Navy during the last two years of World War II and returned to New Orleans in 1945. A career in business was eclipsed by music as the young bass-baritone performed in churches and synagogues and with musical and theatrical groups. He married his childhood sweetheart, Loraine Siegel, in 1946, and the following year their son, Norman, was born. 2 Determined to pursue a musical career, Treigle entered Loyola University where he studied with Elisabeth Wood for seven years. He won the New Orleans Opera House Auditions of the Air in 1947 and made his operatic debut with the company as the Duke of Verona in Roméo et Juliette.
