Stephen C. Widom Cultural Arts at Emanuel will present a Summer Music Fest on Sunday, July 24, at 3 p.m., with Thomas Stallone and Jenny Lynn Stewart.
Stallone and Stewart offer selections from a vast and varied repertoire that includes Broadway favorites, popular songs and operatic classics.
Stallone combines a voice of unusual range and color with a magnetic stage presence that captivates his audience.
His powerful “bari-tenor” enables him to successfully cross-over between the dramatic tenor and lyric baritone arias.
He has performed with the Michigan Opera Theatre, the New Jersey Lyric Opera, Connecticut Grand Opera, Opera Northeast and the National Grand Opera. He has traversed the world sharing his powerful baritone voice with audiences in Germany, Austria, England and Italy, including solo performances at St. Peter’s Basilica and the Conservatorio d’Avellino.
Stewart, dramatic soprano, enjoys a career that bridges the classics of Broadway with those of opera.
She has toured in the U.S. and internationally in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Carousel: and “The Sound of Music.”
Her classical performances include the title roles in “Aida” and “Tosca” and soprano solos in Dvorak’s Requiem at Carnegie Hall.
Her one-woman show, “Richard Rodgers Revisited,” has been performed in New York City to “standing room only” audiences that left the theater filled with joy.
Together, the two will delight aficionados who enjoy a wide variety of musical genres.
Following the concert, there will be refreshments. Facility is handicap-accessible.
Tickets are $10. For further information and to purchase tickets, call (516) 482-5701.
Temple Emanuel of Great Neck is located at 150 Hicks Lane in Great Neck.
