Acclaimed Tenor David Pomeroy joins COC Star Krisztina Szabo at University Club with Tapestry Opera

November 11, 2015 @ 6:30 AM EST - 9:00 PM EST EST

We are delighted to extend a very special invitation to members of the Oxford and Cambridge Club. COC mezzo-soprano Krisztina Szabo will be performing at the University Club on Wednesday, November 11th to help celebrate the announcement of Jordan de Souza’s Conductor-in-Residency with Tapestry Opera. Jordan has already dazzled club members who witnessed his masterful conducting in Tapestry’s open rehearsal at the club last spring. He will be conducting with both the COC and National Ballet this season – truly a star on the rise. He’s also a pianist / organist, and he will be playing on November 11th. As for Krisztina, you only have to read the latest critic’s rave – this week from the Globe and Mail about her current performance in Pyramus and Thisbe – to see how her career is going!

“Szabo’s mezzo voice is a burnished joy, able to cut through both a 20-odd person chorus and a full orchestra with clarity and beauty, and her presence on stage was luminous. The night really belonged to her.” – Globe and Mail

In an exciting new development since we first released details of the evening, internationally acclaimed tenor David Pomeroy will also be performing. Known for his thrilling top notes, David debuted at the MET in their 2009 production of Les Contes d’Hoffmann: he sang Hoffmann opposite Anna Netrebko under the baton of Maestro James Levine.

“David Pomeroy, as Don Jose, was magnetic. His dark good looks and impressive acting skills made for a tragic hero. The voice is a beautiful one, with a seamless sound.” – Belgian Operaguide

I hope you can join us for this hour of gorgeous music on November 11th. Dinner will follow the concert, so please arrive promptly at 6:30 pm as the concert will get underway shortly thereafter. Please rsvp the University Club directly at rsvp@universitycluboftoronto.com Tickets are $125 per person and include the performance as well as a three course meal with wine.
