Description
About This Performance
Anthony Roth Costanzo re-created the demanding title role of Philip Glass’ monumental opera Akhnaten at the Met to universal acclaim, and now makes his Bay Area recital debut. With a childhood background in Broadway and a Grammy® Award to his credit, he deeply understands how to get inside musical characters and deliver captivating performances. He presents a varied program of historic and contemporary works including an homage to Barbra Streisand. “Costanzo’s vocal range is what makes his performances truly shine” (NPR).
