In the article, he says of his role as Don Giovanni, "It’s one of my dream roles, I’ve been waiting my whole life to do it. And there are very few places that really collaborate in such a deep way with singers.” According to the Eagle, "he heads a cast equipped with the talent and experience the company has consistently delivered."

We are very fortunate to have these three consummate artists with us, along with the rest of the cast and creative team, who have been working tirelessly to bring BOF's production of Don Giovanni to life. Come see all the work they've done! Get your tickets HERE.

Prior to the Saturday, August 20 performance of Don Giovanni, there will be a free pre-performance talk with dramaturg Cori Ellison at 12pm (doors open at 11:45am) for all ticket holders. Gain insight into one of Mozart’s greatest works before curtain at 1pm.

Cori Ellison is a leading creative figure in the opera world and has served as staff dramaturg at Santa Fe Opera, the Glyndebourne Festival, and New York City Opera. She is a member of the Vocal Arts Faculty at The Juilliard School and Ravinia Steans Music Institute and has taught and lectured for schools, performance organizations, and media outlets worldwide. Cori's supertitles have been seen in all BOF mainstage productions since Madama Butterfly in 2016. 

We'd like to thank everyone who attended our free community concert High on the Ramparts: A Spotlight on Music of Black Composers last week at the Berkshire Museum. We hope you enjoyed our celebration of the music of Black composers spanning the past two centuries and the awe-inspiring performances by Kearstin Piper Brown, Joshua Blue, and pianist Travis Bloom. Below are some pictures from the evening.

Opera is a collaborative art form between the singers, musicians, creative team, and you! BOF's ability to bring world-class artists and performances to the Berkshires each summer is only possible because of the generosity of our donors.

Thank you for supporting BOF and playing your role in making our 2022 season possible.
