About
When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? A.J. Fletcher Opera Institute alumnus Richard Ollarsaba(opens in new tab) (M.M. ’12) seeks to find an answer as he delivers a commanding musical retrospective around the 17th century Spanish novel “Don Quixote.” Ollarsaba’s rich baritone voice explores songs inspired by the famed novel — from notable composers such as Ravel (“Don Quichotte à Dulcinée”) and Jacques Ibert (“Chansons de Don Quichotte”) — along with selections from the 1965 musical “Man of La Mancha.” Join the adventure in this must-attend event. Eric McEnaney accompanies on piano.
