In the Stacks: Maryland Opera
"But it's a long, long while from May to December, and the days grow short when you reach September."
Join Maryland Opera for a musical walk through the autumn leaves for this fall-inspired performance featuring soprano Colleen Daly, baritone Timothy Mix, and pianist James Harp.
The program will feature vocal music based on autumnal themes, including operatic selections such as Purcell's "Come see my many coloured fields" from The Fairy Queen and "Warm as the Autumn Light" from Moore's The Ballad of Baby Doe. Art songs such as Fanny Hensel's "Im Herbst" and Hope Temple's "In Sweet September" will be enjoyed as well as works by Elgar, Massenet, Wolf, Fauré, and Richard Strauss.
Immerse yourself in the musical colors of the season as we celebrate the bittersweet time of "September Songs" in one of the most beautiful libraries in the world!
