The perfect opera for those who prefer their laughter sandwiched with a slice of wry. Two sisters are in love with two officers but soon find their protestations of fidelity put to the test. What ensues are disguises, potions, and all manner of farce. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.

Le Petit Greek Larchmont

The Studio Recital is an integral part of the ZAJACSTUDIO curriculum. No matter what the current level of the singer, it is imperative to perform in front of a live audience to get to that next level of expertise. We are excited to provide a nurturing environment for students at every level to either succeed or fail in a performance situation in front of colleagues and invited guests. This is a great opportunity to get immediate feedback on what issues still inhibit the basic technique and also what proficiencies stick and become organic as a result. For those invited guests, we thank you for supporting this process of the artist’s journey.
