"Opera Across the Atlantic" is the brainchild of Michael Sonnenreich, a Tucker Foundation board member and former president of the Washington National Opera, and his friend John Lowell, Malta's former ambassador to the United States.
The concert will be simulcast live to George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium in Washington, D.C.
Dedicated to maintaining the legacy of the great American tenor through grants and awards to promising American opera singers, the Richard Tucker Music Foundation has given away more than $2 million in the past 32 years to further the careers of young American singers. Last month the Foundation presented its annual Richard Tucker Award, worth $30,000. to 36-year-old tenor Brandon Jovanovich.
