In celebration of Timothy Myers’ 2023 appointment as the Sarah and Ernest Butler Music Director, Austin Opera is thrilled to announce the launch of a new series: Opera Unleashed: Epic Masterpieces with Timothy Myers. Opera Unleashed will offer a series of company premieres over the coming seasons featuring some of the most historically significant works composed for the operatic voice. First up, the company premiere of one of the canon’s most thrilling masterpieces, Verdi’s Requiem. Declared an “opera in ecclesiastical costume” at its world premiere, Verdi’s Requiem is a monumental work for the human voice. Three star singers will make their Austin Opera debuts-soprano Leah Crocetto, mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack, and tenor Limmie Pulliam, joined by bass Wei Wu, last seen as Kôbun in The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs in 2022.
