Considered to be “among the world’s best tenors” (Daily Express, UK),
Costello performs opera favorites at Memorial Hall Oct. 29

On Tuesday, October 29, Costello will perform an evening of opera favorites from the bel canto (Italian for “beautiful singing”) era, including excerpts from The Elixir of LoveRigolettoLucia di Lammermoor, and more. The concert reunites Costello with Cincinnati Opera after his acclaimed performances as Rodolfo in La Bohème (2010) and Alfredo in La Traviata (2012). The event also celebrates the recent release of Costello’s first solo album, A Te, O Cara, a collection of bel canto arias by Donizetti, Verdi, and Bellini on the Delos label.

Two years later, Costello won the opera industry’s prestigious Richard Tucker Award, and he has since appeared at many of the world’s most important opera houses and music festivals, including London’s Royal Opera House, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Vienna State Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, San Francisco Opera, Washington National Opera, and the Salzburg Festival.
