Description
The Grand, Delaware Symphony Orchestra (DSO), and OperaDelaware announce an Opening Season Performance, featuring the talents of their respective musicians and performers alongside Broadway legend and Tony Award–winner, Brian Stokes Mitchell. This program was originally announced as a New Year’s Eve celebration in 2021 but had to be rescheduled due to the COVID Omicron outbreak. The three organizations decided to re-mount the concert as a joint celebration of the opening of their first full “post-pandemic” seasons. The evening will consist of a two-act program, beginning with Viennese waltzes and polkas. The second act will feature the talents of Mr. Stokes Mitchell and will be a celebration of Broadway standards throughout the years. In addition to the talents of Mr. Stokes Mitchell, soloists from OperaDelaware will enchant audiences with opera and operetta highlights, as guests of the Delaware Symphony, led by Maestro David Amado. Tickets to the concert — a fundraising event that will benefit all three organizations — are $75 per person and are now available for purchase at www.TheGrandWilmington.org. All tickets issued for the original New Year’s Eve concert will be honored for this program.
