The Catalyst Sessions w/ Bill DeYoung and Maestro Mark Sforzini

St. Petersburg Opera Company will be among the first, if not the very first, to dip its toe carefully back into the pool of live performance next month.

In a socially-distant manner of speaking.

“Even though we can’t do any live, big opera mainstage shows for the time being, there are other things we can do,” executive and artistic director Mark Sforzini said Thursday on The Catalyst Sessions. “And the outdoors is generally safer than the indoors. So we’re going to go around with a troupe of four singers and a pianist Aug. 9.”

The vocalists and accompanist will perform from the back of a flatbed trailer, at Westminster Palms, the St. Pete Side Lot, the Museum of Fine Arts (between the enormous banyan trees on the north lawn) and the Palladium Theater parking lot.
