About the event
Presented by the Central Lakes Concert Association, Aria Nouveau transports audiences on a journey through crossover hits, Broadway blockbusters, mainstream opera favorites and popular music in an elegant and artful evening perfect for music lovers of all ages.
Artists like Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, and Andrea Bocelli pioneered the “classical crossover” genre, where elements of pop and opera seamlessly blend into a lush landscape of soaring vocals, rich orchestrations, and unbridled emotion.
