Boston Summer Opera is coming to town early this year!

Join us for A Bel Canto Evening, a special concert fundraising for our upcoming 2026 season, A Bel Canto Summer!

Tickets are LIVE! Get your tickets here.

This program features arias by bel canto composers Donizetti and Rossini, as well as other works, all performed by Boston Summer Opera artists.

Bel canto, which translates to “beautiful singing,” is all about the voice. This music highlights the power of the human voice and offers an accessible introduction to opera for both first-time audience members and longtime opera lovers.

All performers in this concert are professional Boston-based musicians graciously donating their talent in an effort to help us fundraise for A Bel Canto Summer. All proceeds will go towards artist pay, venue costs, and our mission to keep opera affordable and welcoming for our community. Tickets are intentionally low-cost, and additional donations during the event are greatly appreciated.

Performers
Naré Kim, soprano
Hannah Shanefield, soprano
Becca Allen, mezzo-soprano
Leo Balkovetz, tenor
Dylan Evans, baritone
Julian Gau, piano

Following the performance, audience members are invited to a reception in the Hunnewell Chapel with the musicians.
