Opera New Jersey artists will perform great songs from opera and Broadway in, “In an Afternoon Interlude,” on May 31 from 12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the South Brunswick Senior Center.
The program will include favorite songs and arias sung by the opera stars of tomorrow. Opera New Jersey is recognized nationally as a leader among regional opera companies and is the Garden State's largest and most prolific opera company. It has garnered the New Jersey State Council on the Arts' highest award, the Citation of Excellence, for several straight seasons.
A special treat is in store when vocal students from the Cambridge Elementary School joins the ONJ quartet to sing two age appropriate opera selections taught by School Music Director, Lisa Garwood. The program was developed as an ongoing component for this fourth year of an ongoing collaboration between the Aging In Place PARTNERSHIP and Opera New Jersey.
