It's a tradition at summer opera festivals and programs to kick off with "Death by Aria", an informal evening when each artist offers a favorite piece. Spotlight's event is open to the public. You can enjoy a cocktail and some of the world's most beautiful music performed by opera's rising stars --- as well as a special appearance by Cindy and tenor Nicholas Simpson.
July 6, 7 p.m., JR Gallery & Performance Space.
Tickets here.
