A large crowd and energetic choir came together at the Sheldon Concert Hall on Saturday night to honor the thousands of St. Louisans lost to COVID-19. Reflections and musical highlights from the Requiem of Light memorial fill this episode of “St. Louis on the Air.”
Opera in the Park
May 21, 2021
Rehanna Thelwell
A Madison Opera summertime tradition since 2002, Opera in the Park is a free, outdoor performance of music from operas, operettas, Broadway musicals and other sources, featuring guest vocalists from around the world. Singers include bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen, soprano Amanda Majeski, tenor Andrew Stenson, and mezzo Rehanna Thelwell. To help with social distancing requirements on stage, this yearâs concert features musical accompaniment by smaller ensembles of Madison-area players rather than the full Madison Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Blankets or lawn chairs can be placed to save your spot starting at 7 a.m., and food and beverages are welcome; if rain is a possibility, a decision about moving the concert to Sunday will be posted at
