Queens Opera Theatre presents Songs for Saplings

Stars in the sky and the feel of fall in the air, join Queens Opera Theatre and The Compost Collective for “Songs for Saplings!”

This one-hour long program will take place entirely outside, and guests are invited to walk around The Compost Collective’s lovely space as a part of their evening. The wonderfully talented soprano Gabriella Giangreco will guide us through the evening with her voice, as our guests are greeted by classic songs that they know and love along with some lesser-known selections. Featuring the works of Sondheim, Schubert, and Strauss and duets with mezzo-soprano Annmarie Errico — this is a performance that you won’t want to miss!
