Dubbed a “visionary recording”, a “Tour de Force!”, and “magical music that will never get old” by critics, DYAD Plays Jazz Arias “will simply blow your mind! Real playing for real ears on the lookout for hot new sounds” (Chris Spector, Midwest Record). This concert will feature familiar melodies from both these trend setting albums, including arias from Carmen by Bizet, Don Giovanni by Mozart, Otello by Verdi, and the beloved operas of Puccini.
