Opera NOVA is back in operation after a nine-month hiatus due to the pandemic. Jose Sacin, Artistic Director, says, “It has been difficult to be away from the stage, to keep the motivation to keep doing what we love.” Now they are reconnecting with their audiences. “We are targeting isolation.”
Sacin and other performers spent all day Saturday, Dec. 4 at the Women’s Club of Arlington on Buchanan Street recording their Christmas show to be released on Zoom as a free concert in mid-December. Sacin says the moderator is Bryan Dawson. Four vocal performers will join Tatiana Loisha on piano with Sacin playing guitar. Sacin will be performing a range of selections from vocal on “Gesu Bambino” to guitar on “Los peces en el rio” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” Angela Knight, Sissel Bakken, and Israel Lozano will also be performing in the program.
