The rising stars of today’s classical music have a place to shine in Atlanta with the Nancy Frampton Rising Artist series, a classical recital showcase at Morningside Presbyterian Church.
A much-anticipated performance from soprano Chelsea Lehnea is coming up on Oct. 20 after a reschedule. She has sung lead roles in productions of opera’s beloved canon, from “Rigoletto” to “Turandot” to “The Magic Flute.”
Lehnea recently performed the title role in a pioneering revival of the lost-and-nearly-forgotten female composer Carolina Uccelli, whose opera “Anna di Resburgo” just saw its first performance since 1835.
The singer joined Lois Reitzes on “City Lights” to discuss this rare revival, as well as Lehnea’s upcoming recital in Atlanta.
“This concert will be all music that I dearly, dearly love to sing,” said Lehnea about Sunday’s performance, “So there will be a mix of American arias, Italian classics and I’ll be finishing off with a couple of Disney princess songs.”
