International opera star and Omaha resident Taylor Stayton’s “laser-bright timbre” and “exceptional fluidity above the staff” (Opera News) continue to distinguish him as one of the most sought-after tenors in his repertoire! Taylor will be joined by Omaha arts icon Hal France for this collaboration in an intriguing program of arias from Proving Up and Eric Hermannsons’s Soul, two operas that are set in Nebraska and written by women composers, as well as some of Taylor’s favorite songs and arias. Omaha musicians Olga Smola, violin, and Brian Sherwood, viola, will join Taylor and Hal as featured guests.
