About

Lisette returns to Baton Rouge and her alma mater for a one-day-only concert in the newly renovated Turner-Fischer Recital Hall, in collaboration with Michael Borowitz, Barineau Endowed Professor of Opera and Music Director of the Turner-Fischer Center for Opera, and students of the LSU School of Music and the Turner-Fischer Center for Opera.

The first half is devoted to Mozart and the second to Rossini, Donizetti and Verdi, pairing Lisette's solo arias with duets and ensembles alongside the students. The program is subject to change.
