May 9 is Mother’s Day – how about tickets to the June concert by the new North Carolina Opera at the new NC Art Museum? Part of the Arts in the Museum Park Concert Series, the new North Carolina Opera company will present Opera, Broadway and Zarzuela on Saturday June 12 at 8 PM.

For its debut this season, the North Carolina Opera offers a magical concert under the stars. Three singing sensations of the world opera stage, a full orchestra under the direction of Timothy Myers, and the art-filled woodland setting of the North Carolina Museum of Art create the perfect summer evening for the Diva in your life. Enjoy your favorite arias, duets, and instrumental selections from operas of Puccini, Verdi, Tchaikovsky and others. Kick things up a bit with the Latin passion of well-known Zarzuela songs and rousing hits from America’s Great White Way.
