Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday at the Basile Opera Center for Voices of Tomorrow!
⠀
We had the privilege of hearing three extraordinary rising artists—baritone Robert Wente, soprano Dejah Watts, and tenor Michael Deshield—share an afternoon of stunning vocal artistry alongside pianist Shuichi Umeyama.
⠀
From Verdi and Mozart to Puccini, Wagner, Floyd, and Heggie, these remarkable young artists gave us a glimpse at the exciting future of opera—and we can’t wait to see where their voices take them next.
⠀
A special thank you to Indiana Classical Voice, Fork + Ale, and everyone who helped make this beautiful afternoon possible.
