Girl of summer

parterre box looks forward to the official start of summer tomorrow with a wistfully pointed performance of Samuel Barber‘s “Knoxville: Summer of 1915” by soprano Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha

The young South African soprano’s most high-profile U.S. appearance thus far was as Liù in Washington last spring and she will return to the part for her role debut at the Met in September.
