WCO will mark the milestone with a return to live performances
Washington, DC (July 7, 2021) – Washington Concert Opera (WCO) and Maestro Antony Walker are proud to announce their 2021-2022 season. This year marks the organization’s 35th anniversary and WCO is excited to celebrate that milestone with a return to live season productions (venue TBA) and with the return of their popular series, Opera Outside, which will bring two free concerts to Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park.
WCO will kick off the season on Sunday, November 21 at 6 p.m. with a performance of Gioachino Rossini’s Maometto II. The opera is set during a time of consequential collisions between the Eastern and Western worlds that led to seismic shifts in world power felt to this day, complete with a city under siege, a forbidden romance and concealed identities. Ashraf Sewailam (Maometto II), Leah Crocetto (Anna Erisso), Bruce Sledge (Paolo Erisso) and Elizabeth DeShong (Calbo) will all make their WCO debuts.
