On December 20, Bard College Conservatory of Music will present “Come Out of the Cold: A Winter Cabaret,” a celebration of seasonal cheer, warmth, and song. The inaugural, intimate winter cabaret, which will take place at the Fisher Center Luma Theater on Bard’s Annandale campus at 7 PM, will wrap up the Conservatory's fall concert season with a program that blends treasured holiday classics and art song intended to transport audiences to a world of winter joy and musical splendor.
“Although we regret that internationally renowned mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe cannot perform as previously announced due to illness, we are delighted to welcome acclaimed opera star and countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, who will join the talented singers of the Graduate Vocal Arts Program and the exceptional Conservatory Piano Fellows for this one-night-only, holiday-infused evening,” said Conservatory director Frank Corliss.
Celebrated for his radiant voice and compelling stage presence, Anthony Roth Costanzo will bring his unique artistry to the Luma Theater stage. Costanzo, who is currently general director and president of Opera Philadelphia, has appeared with many of the world’s most prestigious opera companies and orchestras including the Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, San Francisco Opera, Opera National de Paris, Teatro Real, New York Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra, and many others.
The program features cherished seasonal songs including “Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming,” “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” (Pola & Wyle), “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” (Martin & Blane), and “White Christmas” (Irving Berlin).
“We are thrilled to close our fall concert season with a performance that brings together the beauty of winter with the festive spirit of the holidays,” said Corliss. “This concert will highlight the talent of our young artists, alongside members of the renowned Vocal Arts Program faculty, and is a perfect way to ring in the season.”
