Madison, CT – Madison Lyric Stage, now celebrating its fifth anniversary, will present a one-night-only concert, Marc Deaton...By Request on Saturday, November 5 at 7:00 p.m. at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Guilford located at 49 Park Street on the historic Guilford Green.

Tenor Marc Deaton has appeared with leading opera companies and orchestras throughout the world. He has four recordings available, including the title role in Tristan und Isolde with the Bulgarian Festival Orchestra on Titanic Records, and a solo disk Marc Deaton: Wagner on Centaur Records.

For this Shoreline concert, Deaton will be performing songs from the worlds of opera and Broadway. Songs could include selections from the operas Turandot, Otello, Tosca, and Wagner’s Ring Cycle, and musicals Company, Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera.

Mr. Deaton said: “I’ve sung many solo concerts on the Shoreline, but what makes this different is that we are asking the audience to help choose the program. I, of course, have some ideas on what I’d like to sing, but nothing is off-limits. If you have an idea, visit our website and let us know.”

Madison Lyric Stage musical director Eric Trudel will lead the evening. Special guests include Carly Callahan and John Johmann (Eva and Ché in this summer’s MLS production of Evita) and mezzo-soprano Susan Yankee (Herodias in this summer’s Salomé).

Tickets are $30 and can be reserved by visiting madisonlyricstage.org or calling 203-779-5258. Tickets are also available at RJ Julia in Madison.
