In the 19th Century, when Giuseppe Verdi wrote his opera Rigoletto, many operas resembled The Wizard of Oz, with very good 'good guys,' very bad 'bad guys,' and of course, lots of great melodies. However, Rigoletto is more like the 2003 musical Wicked, which reworked the Oz characters into more complicated people, neither fully evil nor fully good. Like Elphaba from Wicked, Rigoletto is a complex protagonist: he makes questionable moral choices, but we sympathize with him because of the suffering he endures. There are three main characters in Rigoletto. The Duke of Mantua is the powerful local ruler, a handsome young man who uses his money and power to seduce women. Rigoletto is a hunchbacked jester who works as a cynical comedian for the Duke. Gilda is Rigoletto's innocent, sheltered teenage daughter, who longs to experience love. A QPAC "in concert" premiere!

Before there was Beyoncé and Jay Z, or Sonny and Cher, there was a couple whose solo careers were magnificent, but on tour together there were no other performers who could thrill an audience the way they did. Over the course of their forty-plus year career together, entertainers Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé left an indelible impression on popular music in America. Although each an accomplished vocalist in their own right, they are most widely recognized for their duets. Steve and Eydie were the recipients of many professional honors, including multiple Emmy and Grammy Awards. Celebrating the music of Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé, with songs like This Could Be The Start Of Something Big, Besame Mucho, Sentimental Journey, Our Love Is Here To Stay, is their son David Lawrence, and Tony Award winner Debbie Gravitte!

The Israeli based vocal group (whose name means “Voice of Hope”), will be returning to QPAC following their successful tours in Israel, Germany and Central America.  This classically trained, operatic pop ensemble, can sing it all!  The program reflects their astonishing vocal versatility, with selections of Israeli favorites, Jewish classics, Broadway showstoppers, opera crossovers, American standards and pop hits performed expertly by a company hand-picked by Israeli born composer, pianist, arranger and musical producer Tomer Adaddi. More than just a concert, Kol Esperanza is an international phenomenon.  Be there to experience this vibrant, moving and uplifting program. Co-sponsored by the Kupferberg Holocaust Center.

These four gentlemen have been the voices appearing alongside the legendary Frankie Valli for the last decade. Hand-picked to tour the world with the rock and roll legend, Valli knew instantly that the vocal blend of these four highly accomplished singers was uniquely beautiful in a dramatic and striking way. Not since the sounds of the Four Seasons or the Bee Gees has there been a group with this much vocal chemistry. Individually, Landon Beard, Todd Fournier and brothers Brian and Brandon Brigham have extensive Broadway, television and film credits. On stage together, they bring their charm, high energy and spot-on vocals, performing classic pop, rock and doo wop songs for a modern audience.

Grammy Award winning artist Melissa Manchester graduated from the High School of Performing Arts, entered New York University and studied songwriting from none other than Paul Simon. While working as a solo singer/pianist in NY, she met Barry Manilow and Bette Midler. She became one of Bette Midler's backup singers and six months later had a recording contract. Her smash hit singles include: Midnight Blue, Through The Eyes Of Love and Don't Cry Out Loud to name a few.
