QSO's 2011 Symphony Gala
A Night at the Opera is only days away!
Donald Groves, tenor
Donald Groves earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Colorado. Mr. Groves has performed with the University of Colorado opera program, the Dona Ana Lyric Opera, and the Lyric Opera of Cleveland. Don also participated in the young artist program at Chautauqua
Opera.
Marcos Sola, baritone
Opera Magazine described Mr. Sola as "an appealing baritone as Belcore," in the Opera in the Heights production of L'Elisir d'amore. Most recently he sang The Pirate King in the Orlando Ballet's unique production of The Pirates of Penzance and Jake in Townsend Opera's production of Porgy and Bess. The Modesto Bee wrote he gave a "strong, consistent performance" as Jake. With the New York City Opera, he performed Mingo in Porgy & Bess in a "Live from Lincoln Center" broadcast: an acclaimed production that continues to enjoy repeat performances on cable television.
