Dear friends of Bel Cantanti and opera lovers.
AUDITIONS! We just have auditioned our singers for the summer festival on Saturday, February 1. The second day of auditions is coming this weekend, February 8 at the Church in Bethesda (5033 Wilson Ln. Bethesda MD).
If you are interested in participate in amazing production of Massenet's "Cendrillon" (Cinderella) or want to try your talent in a musical, Rogers/Hammerstein "The Sound of Music" - we hope to see you this Saturday. If your child loves to sing, dance and perform on stage - bring him/her to audition for "The Sound of Music". This is the first year when BCO is working with young kids and adults together. Both shows are completely staged, in costume, performed with an orchestra.
