Finally, Boglárka Brindás and Liang Wei headline two scenes from “Le Docteur Miracle” and are joined by Luis Felipe Sosa for one of them. Wei also headlines another scene from that same opera alongside Sima Ouahman, Sofia Anisimova, and Clemens Frank.

Boglárka Brindás and Luis Felipe Sousa star in a scene from “Manon;” Brindás joins Sofia Anismova for a duet from Massenet’s “Don César de Bazan.” As far as the Gounod segment of the performance, Lisa Chaïb-Auriol and Sima Ouahamann deliver a scene from “Mireille.”
