The award-winning Resident Artists of Philadelphia’s world-renowned Academy of Vocal Arts (AVA) will return to the Michener for an afternoon to remember. Enjoy a concert of classical and near-classical repertoire by these international singers with a program to include selections from opera, operetta, and classic Broadway.  This 90-minute concert will have one intermission.

The Academy of Vocal Arts is widely considered the premiere training program for young opera singers and is completely tuition-free – supported by annual contributions, ticket sales and endowment. AVA alumni are featured on the stages of the world’s great opera houses every season – from the Academy of Music to Covent Garden, from the Metropolitan Opera to La Scala, including many who have starred in the Metropolitan Opera HD live movies.

An Afternoon of Opera and Song is generously sponsored by Barbara Donnelly Bentivoglio and Dr. Lamberto Bentivoglio.
