"Bursting out of the Roaring 20s, Cole Porter took Broadway by storm and elevated musical theater to new heights of sophistication for three decades," says DePuit.
The audience will be treated to 40 of Porter’s greatest hits in an evening that is elegant, fun and maybe a bit naughty -- and definitely very social.
The singers will be the six Resident Opera Artists hired for this season by the Festival. They were selected through nationwide auditions from a pool of over 400 applicants. Joshua Major, artistic director of the Festival, says, "This year’s artists are among the most talented we have ever had, and should bring a lot of pleasure to everyone."
The Pine Mountain Music Festival presents a season of opera, classical and jazz music in June-July in the Dickinson County area, the Marquette area, the Keweenaw Peninsula and other smaller towns in the Upper Peninsula and northeastern Wisconsin. Headquartered in Hancock, Michigan, it is supported by donations, ticket sales and grants. Visit the web at pmmf.org, or call 1-877-746-3999 for tickets or 888-309-7861 for more information.
