OperaSaratoga.org: Join Us For AMERICA SINGS Free Live Streamed Concerts Presented In Partnership With CAFFÈ LENA
AMERICA SINGS is a new concert series that amplifies the voices of BIPOC artists, who have historically been underrepresented on the concert stage. Each event will feature a wide array of classical, jazz, and popular music. AMERICA SINGS concerts will be live streamed to the public for free, but viewers are encouraged to contribute through a virtual tip jar during each event to support both Opera Saratoga and the featured artists. All “tips” made during each concert will be split equally between Opera Saratoga and the artists performing, providing vital support to artists who have been financially impacted by the shutdown of live opera across the country. AMERICA SINGS is presented with generous leadership support from Greenberg Traurig, LLP, and hospitality sponsorship from The Hampton Inn & Suites, Saratoga Springs.

Bridge, two CDs Mixing spoken dialogue and sung numbers, The Cradle Will Rock, Marc Blitzstein’s “play with music”, has always hovered uneasily between musical theatre and opera. It’s had a chequered history. Intended as an antidote to the traditional Broadway musical, its plot charts trade-union attempts to break the stranglehold of corruption and nepotism in an anonymous “Steeltown, USA”, while satirising the intolerance and hypocrisy of the American middle class.
