Merola Opera Program's Summer Festival ends on a high note with the Merola Grand Finale, a concert featuring the 31 young artists of the 2022 program performing opera's most thrilling arias and ensembles. As the largest class incompany history, and the first group of Merola participants to return to in- person performances in nearly two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the culmination of this season is monumental, setting the stage for the bright future that lies ahead. Directed by 2022 Merola Stage Director Matthew J. Schulz, this performance will showcase the dedication, passion, and extraordinary talent of opera's exciting new voices. The performance will be conducted by Patrick Furrer, a Metropolitan Opera staff member since 2011, who made his conducting debut at the Metropolitan Opera in December 2021 with Mozart's Die Zauberflöte, followed in February 2022 by the company's first-ever production of the original five-act French version of Verdi's Don Carlos.
