Merola Opera Program’s Summer Festival is set to conclude with the Merola Grand Finale on August 20, 2022.

The concert will feature the 31 young artists of the 2022 program performing arias and ensembles. As the largest class in company history, and the first group of Merolini to return to in-person performances in nearly two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the culmination of this season is monumental.

Directed by 2022 Merola Stage Director Matthew J. Schulz, the performance will be conducted by Patrick Furrer, a Metropolitan Opera staff member.

The concert will take place at the War Memorial Opera House with a post-performance reception at the Barbro Osher Recital Hall at Bowes Center.
