Baltimore Concert Opera will present its first live concert since having to shut the theater doors in March due to COVID-19. The open-air, bring-your-own-chair concert, titled ‘BCO in the Open Air,’ will be held outdoors on September 24th at 6pm (rain date – September 25th) on the campus of the Immaculate Conception Church in Towson, MD and will star soprano Colleen Daly, mezzo-soprano Chrystal E. Williams, and bass-baritone Kevin Short, accompanied by pianist Aurelien Eulert. The concert will run 45-50 minutes and will feature an array of operatic favorites. Information on the artists and the program can be found here.

Artistic and General Director Julia Cooke shares, “I am truly overjoyed to have the opportunity to employ artists and to present live music after these many months. We know that these chances may be few and far between for now, and we are feeling very lucky to be able to make this happen. We are deeply thankful to the leadership at Immaculate Conception Church for hosting us on their campus for this very special concert.”

If you would like to join us for this concert, please let me know by replying in this e-mail with your organization and the number of people you would like to have attend. BCO hopes to be able to mount additional outdoor performances this fall, as weather and government guidelines permit. Social distancing and other safety measures will be in full effect for artists, audiences and staff for all live BCO concerts this season.
