"Voce Rising Opera Stars in Recital": Heidi Melton with pianist John Parr

Dramatic Soprano Heidi Melton Performs Wagner, Beethoven, Weill & More

Heidi Melton might have "the" voice. Just as only King Arthur was fated to pull the sword from the stone, only a very few opera singers can pull the deepest meaning from the monolithic music of Wagner. And Melton has the gifts, including a thrilling voice, powerful stage presence and innate musicality, to become one of the greats. Indeed, "La Presse" declared that her rich vocals "could be the Wagnerian voice we have been looking for since Flagstad and Nilsson." Find out what all the fuss is about when this young talent performs as a part of the "Voce Rising Opera Stars in Recital" series at Pace University. Accompanied by pianist John Parr, she will sing works by Beethoven, Debussy, Berg, Weill and -- of course -- Wagner.
