Tenor Ben Bliss joins pianist Christopher Allen for an intimate recital showcasing Bliss’ agile lyric voice and Allen’s richly colored, orchestral approach to the keyboard. Bliss is particularly admired as a Mozart interpreter and has appeared at the Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera, and major European houses.

Recent roles have ranged from Jeanine Tesori’s Grounded to Don Ottavio in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. In Berkeley, the two artists bring that dramatic experience into the concentrated setting of song recital; the detailed program is forthcoming.
