Celebrity Series Soprano Sings Rice

Condi_1
Leave it to Alex Ross (The Rest is Noise) to recognize and promote talent. Tucked away at the end of his post on the passion for opera shared by Tom Delay and Robert Bork and the general state of opera in Washington, is a little item that really drew our attention. Soprano Eleanor Taylor (a Celebrity Series employee from 1993-98, thank you very much!) and pianist Jocelyn Dueck (the duo call themselves Two Sides Sounding) will perform the world premiere of a song cycle by Corey Dargel and Sam Piperato set to the speeches of Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice. The performance is at Manhattan's Saint Peters Church on October 25. Break a leg, Eleanor!
