For the Beauty of the Earth

Part of Festival O22
Free and open to the public

Join the women of the Opera Philadelphia Chorus and narrator Cookie Diorio for a celebration of words and music coming together into the magic of song. They will perform a concert of works that honor the sacred, capture our deepest emotions, and elevate the essence of poetry. The program will feature composers and poets from the LGBTQIA+ community, including Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein, and Philadelphia-based composer Pax Ressler. You’ll hear about hope, contemplation, prayer, baking terrible pies, and of course, love.

Runtime: 90 minutes

Registration is encouraged but not required to attend. All are welcome!
