Angelina Reaux is a lyric soprano who performs opera, theatre and cabaret to glowing reviews across the U.S. She has collaborated with Leonard Bernstein, mastered works by composers ranging from Gershwin to Puccini - but there is one artist that she is associated with more than any other - Kurt Weill. In this concert, Reaux celebrates the love songs of Weill in German, French, and English, accompanied by Scott Dunn, pianist. "Réaux is America's most dramatic singer. She can sing with a disarming sweetness, gentle longing, passionate regret, deep anguish, white-hot rage, engaging wit, high hopes, worldly-wise cynicism, the voice of experience - often in the course of a single soing." The Boston Globe “Réaux brings a better voice to Weill than anyone has ever heard and a degree of identification with the material no one has matched since Lotte Lenya herself.” The New York Times Visit https://www.sdrep.org/show-detail.php?id=675
