Continuing in its long and proud tradition of mystery and intrigue, Maestro Eve Queler‘s Opera Orchestra of New York has announced a concert or some other sort of music-related event for May 4, 2016.  

The inscrutable proclamation reads:

On Wednesday, May 4, 2016 OONY will continue in its proud tradition with an extraordinary evening of bel canto featuring one of the greatest voices of our time, soprano Angela Meade, supported by exciting rising young artists including the vibrant young Serbian bass, Sava Vemic. Details will follow shortly.

Any guesses/predictions/gossip what this “extraordinary evening” is supposed to entail, cher public?
