UPTON, NY — The Stony Brook Opera will perform at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 at noon in Berkner Hall. Sponsored by Brookhaven Science Associates, the event is free and open to the public. All visitors to the Laboratory 16 and older must bring a photo I.D.

Ensemble numbers for more than one voice — such as duets, trios, quartets, and quintets — are the glory of opera. For the program at Brookhaven, the Stony Brook Opera will perform well known show stoppers such as the quintet from Bizet's Carmen, the quartet from Verdi's Rigoletto, the first-act trio from Mozart's Cosὶ Fan Tutte, the final trio from Richard Strauss' Rosenkavalier, the Ice Cream sextet from Kurt Weill's Street Scene, the Act I trio from Johann Strauss' Die Fledermaus, and the duet from "One Hand, One Heart" from Bernstein's West Side Story. The selections will be performed by the young singers of the Stony Brook Opera under the musical direction of Timothy Long.
